Traditional piano lessons only teach students to play someone else’s music. We also teach you how to write your own. 🎶
Some students compose gorgeous pieces. Some write silly songs about the family dog. Both count!
If that sounds like your kind of music school, enrollment is open at locations on the map. Don’t see your hometown yet? Add your name to a waitlist for a new location or share a request to open a piano school near you, if you haven’t already.

Front page news on USA Today! 🗞️
Not to get all deep, but it’s proof that some of the most important learning still happens offline: one student, one teacher, one piano at a time.
High notes from 5 major announcements this week:
🎹 A strategic partnership with legendary composer Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers Music
👨🏫 Our new CEO Hadi Partovi, founder of Code.org
💻 Financial investments from tech and business luminaries
📍 A growing nationwide network of piano schools
🕘 Features on 60 Minutes and in USA TODAY
There are many, many people who helped get us to this moment. From Payam's mom who taught him how to play piano, to our first students (many of whom are now teachers!), and our community of families who took a chance on a new way to learn piano.
To every single person who said "yes" to trying something different, who saw potential in what we were building, who believed that music education could be transformed: you made this possible. Thank you.
Our vision is to create a world where every student has the opportunity to fall in love with piano. Not just learn it, but truly fall in love with it.
We are enrolling at schools across the country!
This!
It still feels surreal to share this 🎹 Our founder Hadi Partovi on 60 Minutes, talking about why we built Payam Music and a new way to fall in love with piano.
Endorsed by Hans Zimmer. Featured nationally. Built over 10 years for students across the US, in person and online 💛
Fall in Love with Piano

"Love music and love themselves." That's the whole reason we do this 🎹 So many of us grew up dreading the piano bench, and the idea that it could feel like joy instead changes everything for a kid. Thank you, Hans, for seeing what our students feel every day 💛 Hans Zimmer

Our feature on 60 minutes premiers tonight!!! 7pm est on CBS and Paramount+
These aren’t covers. They’re originals! 🎹
Every note you’re hearing was written by a Payam Music student, and several of these young composers have even gone on to win national awards for their music!
This is what happens when students aren’t just taught how to play music, but to create it! From their very first levels, our students learn to explore creativity, storytelling, emotion, and self-expression through composition.
Turn your sound on and meet the next generation of composers!
