A piano method built on colours and circles. From 2.5 to 80 — for young children, learners who think differently, and adults discovering an instrument for the first time. Free now on the App Store and Google Play.
● Right hand · ▲ Left hand — same colour, different shape, one octave apart.
We removed traditional notation. What remains is colours and two simple shapes — a circle for the right hand, a triangle for the left. The child follows the colours, and a real song appears under their fingers — often within the first few minutes. Tap the keys below to try the piano right here.
Same colours, two hands, endless music.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star — see how seven colours come together to make a real song. Hit play and watch each note light up as the piano sings it.
A simple example from the method — a child's first song, in just colours.
Very young children, children on the autism spectrum or with learning differences, and adults discovering an instrument for the first time. Designed for those three. Works for all three.
Children play a real song before they can even read words. No musical background required from the parent.
Visual, multi-sensory and predictable. Success on the first attempt — building confidence rather than frustration.
No memorising, no theory, no pressure. Cognitive engagement and quiet joy — at any age.
A 'Level Zero' before formal notation. Students arrive at their first lesson already in love with the instrument.
The colour-and-shape method as a printed book: 76 pieces, cut-out piano stickers and a guide for grown-ups. A child who cannot yet read words can read this book.
I developed this colour- and circle-based piano method over years of practice and research. It first appeared as the book 'First Steps of the Little Pianist' and is now also available as an interactive, guided, free app.
Along the way I founded three education centers in the United States. Today I run Bilim ve Sanat Köşkü (Science and Arts Pavilion) and Bilim ve Sanat Kulübü (Science and Arts Club) in Istanbul, bringing music, science and arts discovery to young children (bskcocuk.com). Next year we are opening a new education center in The Hague, the Netherlands — for early years, older adults and special education.
