    The Role of Performance in Piano Education

    The Piano Marvel Academy Difference

    Piano Marvel

    Empower your students with the program trusted by schools and universities across the country

    The best name in piano learning software, Piano Marvel helps music lovers of all levels master the art of playing the piano. We’ve designed cutting-edge piano software to help individuals at every step of the music learning experience.

    Piano Marvel has been a godsend for my group piano classes at BYU. My students love being able to track their own progress and receive instant feedback on their work. It’s also freed up tremendous amounts of time I would otherwise spend grading, allowing me to focus on the musical aspects of my students’ education.

    Joshua Harris

    Joshua Harris, a TEA-certified, background-checked, and TIA-Designated Exemplary Teacher, was hand-picked by Piano Marvel to establish the first Piano Marvel Academy in Texas. With 15 years of experience in music education—including 10 years as a class piano teacher—he has been teaching with the Piano Marvel program for eight years. His approach fosters a mutually respectful and fun environment, focusing on helping each student achieve their personal best every day.

    At PMTC 2025 we introduced Piano Marvel Academies and, since then, a group of select teachers has been testing the curriculum with their students around the world with impressive success.

    “Just finished another vibrant, fun hour with my young Piano Marvel Academy class. Like last week, I feel so happy I am almost in tears (of joy). Kids are loving every minute, don’t want to leave, and are actually making progress at the piano. (The trading cards are a great incentive!)”

    “AMAZING, Josh!! Truly amazing!!! I especially like the stamps “Important” and “Pro Tip”. Those are a great idea to make us part of your “brand” of stamps that occur throughout all the levels of books. Well done! Hats off to you!!”

    Lindsey Noble

    Colorado Piano Teacher

    “We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Piano Marvel Academy! All three of my kids (ages 6, 10, and 11) are able to attend lessons at the same time, which makes scheduling so much easier for our family. The program uses the Piano Marvel website/app, which is fantastic for tracking progress and pinpointing where each child is making mistakes so they can improve quickly. The website was very informative for me before I went in for their trial class… My children look forward to their lessons each week and are making steady progress. Highly recommend!”
