Playground: Real Piano Lessons

Playground Sessions

About this app

Real piano lessons. Real results. Simply learn to play piano with fun, step-by-step lessons, world-class teachers, and the songs you love — even if you’ve never played a note before. Works with any piano or keyboard – start with a free trial.

Playground Sessions was co-created by music legend Quincy Jones (28x GRAMMY winner). Quincy helped shape our curriculum and how our piano app arranges songs to ensure every lesson is musically authentic, fun to play, and designed to build real, lasting piano skills. “We designed Playground so even if you’ve never played a single note before, you’d be hooked and having fun from day one — while learning real musical skills that stay with you for life.” – Quincy Jones

Perfect for beginners, adults returning to piano, homeschooling families, and musicians learning piano as a new instrument — Playground combines real-time feedback, step-by-step video lessons, and hit songs to make learning piano easy, effective, and fun.

Trusted by real users — even Jimmy Fallon.
Late-night host Jimmy Fallon picked up Playground in his free time to learn piano:
“I love it, I really love it! It makes me feel like I’m learning!”
Years later, Playground is still Jimmy’s favorite piano app.

Ratings and reviews

Rate the app exists on the PC version but not on the phone app. PC version keeps asking for password/username and to re-add my piano every time I boot up. I did not have this issue with the older version of playground sessions (had to reinstall PC OS). I'm still surprised that there's no way to add custom sheets (though I understand there's probably legal issues with that). App should have a system for users to vote on adding new songs. Get the base more engaged.

The app functions perfectly on PC besides there being a delay for when the key is pressed on the keyboard. On android I have to uninstall and reinstall to get back to the section where I can access each individual lesson of the bootcamp. There has to be a major bug there. I use a galaxy s25 ultra so I'm guessing thag it affects all android users and not only me. If it wasn't for that issue of me having to uninstall and reinstall to get out of a lesson then it'd be 5 stars.

Really loving it. I remember seeing it available exclusively to iPhone a few years ago, so really glad it has arrived onto Android. Lessons are great and informative, covering so much even in the beginner lessons. Practising with both hands really early is brilliant and the teachers make it so enjoyable. Seems the random app closing issue has been fixed too, so 5*. Thank you!
