Frequently Asked Questions

About 10 to 15 minutes. Each lesson teaches one small skill: your child watches a short video lesson, practices it (for piano, drums and ukulele, by playing along with a band), then takes a quick picture quiz.

Mr. Elias (Elias Berlinger) teaches piano, drums and ukulele, and Miss Lianna (Lianna Berlinger) teaches singing. They founded My Music Workshop in 2009, and Mr. Elias has taught music to kids for over 20 years. Lessons are pre-recorded videos, not live classes, so your child can learn any time and repeat a lesson as often as they like.

Everything, with nothing locked:

1. 650+ video lessons and play-alongs: piano, drums, ukulele, singing, reading music, music basics, exploring instruments, songs and the 52 Pre-Planned Lessons.

2. Picture quizzes, printable worksheets and lesson guides.

3. Musician characters, music games, Rock Star rewards, a Music Store and Music Rooms to decorate.

4. A Parents Area with each child’s progress, help videos and account settings.

5. Email support from our team. Write to [email protected] any time.

Kids ages 4 to 12. The lessons start at the very beginning, so 4 and 5 year olds can follow along, and there’s enough to keep older kids going. Teens and adults can learn with it too.

For piano or ukulele lessons, yes: a keyboard or piano, or a ukulele. For drums, your child can start on a printable paper drum and move to a practice pad or drum set later. Singing, reading music, music basics and the Pre-Planned Lessons need no instrument at all.

Yes. The first drum lessons use a printable paper drum, so your child learns how to hold the sticks, keep a beat and read simple rhythms before you buy anything. A practice pad or drum set comes later, when you’re ready.

Any device with a web browser: computers, tablets, phones and Chromebooks. There’s no app to download, and turn the device sideways (landscape) for the best view. It never uses the microphone or camera.

No. My Music Workshop doesn’t use the microphone and doesn’t score each note. Kids watch a short lesson, play along with the band, and check what they learned with picture quizzes. Parents can see progress in the Parents Area.

It’s affordable and fits around your family’s schedule: no driving and no fixed lesson time. Lessons are broken into small steps, and kids can repeat any lesson as many times as they need. Playing along with real music makes practice fun.

For many families, yes. It also works well alongside private lessons. Some kids do best with a private teacher; if that’s your child, we recommend finding a good one. My Music Workshop adds play-alongs, reading music and music theory, and it’s a great start for kids too young for most private teachers.

Yes. Many homeschool families use it as their music curriculum. The 52 Pre-Planned Lessons give younger children one general music lesson a week, with no instrument needed. The Parents Area shows lessons and time for each child, which helps with records.

One membership includes one child. You can add more children for $5 a month or $29 a year each, and each child gets their own profile, progress tracking and rewards. Schools and districts can contact us for school pricing.

Yes. The 7-day free trial gives full access to every lesson and feature.

Yes, for both lessons and technical questions. Contact us through the Contact Us page or [email protected], and we usually reply within a few hours.
