Both hands together has been my personal nemesis since I first tried to learn piano in college. I gave up then, I gave up a second time three years ago, and I genuinely thought it just wasn't for me. Stacey has a specific system for this that I've never seen anywhere else. She builds each hand separately, layers them slowly, and suddenly it just... works. Day 5 I played Happy Birthday hands together and stood up from the piano like I'd just won something. Because I had.
Passacaglia was so much fun to play. My husband loves it!

…but the moment YOU try to play it, both hands just refuse to work together?
Or maybe you can play it slowly - but the second you try to speed it up, everything falls apart?
Or maybe you're just not sure where to even start - should you learn scales, chords, songs, theory? And in what order?

And it just feels like you're STUCK...
You're not alone!

It was the lack of a clear system that was simple and fun that makes them excieted to so they could stick with.

Hi, I'm Stacey Bassetti.
I've been professionally teaching adults to play piano for over 15 years.
I hold a Master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music, one of the most prestigious conservatories in the world, and I'm also a Spotify artist with over 18 million streams.
But more importantly, I've helped hundreds of adults who felt overwhelmed,
stuck, or unsure where to begin, build real skills, and make visible progress at
the piano.





Adults who tried :
YouTube videos
Apps
Books…
and still couldn't play a single song
the way they imagined it.
❌ The problem was never talent
❌ It was never age
❌ It was never their hands
✅ It was the lack of a clear system that's simple and fun that makes them excited to stick with it

If you've ever thought...
"I just want a trustworthy teacher to tell me exactly what to practice, and in what order"
— you're in the right place.

I took lessons as a kid and quit around middle school. I've carried that 'I used to play piano' energy for 20 years without actually playing piano. Piano Kickstart changed that. The structure is perfect for adults - short lessons, clear goals, no extra fluff. Stacey doesn't talk down to you or treat you like a child. By day 7 I played the Passacaglia with both hands and sent a video to my mom who literally cried. Worth every minute of the 7 days.























Piano Kickstart
"I completed the impressive piano pattern"
I found this to be very helpful in strengthening the foundational skills that I have as a pianist
-Mia

Piano Kickstart
"I’d recommend it to anyone coming back after a long break or starting fresh"
I hadn’t played piano in a long time, so I was basically starting over. Stacey’s program got my hands on the keys from the very first lesson - playing real notes, moving across octaves, and learning as I went. It was genuinely empowering.
-Karen

Piano Kickstart
"Highly recommend this.."
I'm not a piano player, and I was playing Happy Birthday within hours.
-Fred

Piano Skool Club
"Even more than the confidence - it made me happy"
It made me feel good to be able to master a piece that previously I would have thought impossible to do.
-Jean

Piano Kickstart
“It only took me three 20-minute sessions to learn Happy Birthday, just 60 minutes total.”
The way the lesson is broken into separate hands and small parts makes it incredibly clear and easy for beginners to follow.
-Mason

Piano Kickstart
“I barely even had to look at the music.”
The way that Stacey teaches helps with memorization...
There’s a lot of pattern recognition that’s really important to memorize pieces!

I've been saying 'I want to learn piano' for literally a decade. It was always on my someday list. I finally did Piano Kickstart on a whim and I genuinely cannot believe what happened in 7 days. Day 1 I'm playing something that sounds cinematic. Day 7 I'm playing a full classical piece with both hands. Stacey is the kind of teacher who makes you feel capable instead of overwhelmed. If you've been putting this off, stop putting it off. This is the one.

But here's what I kept watching happen to adults who wanted to learn:
They compared themselves to five-year-olds prodigies on YouTube and felt hopeless. They wasted hours on apps or following colored tiles on a screen instead of actual music. They finished beginner courses with nowhere to go next. They built bad habits nobody corrected - and some got injured. They missed one practice, felt guilty, avoided it, felt more guilty, and quietly quit.
The apps weren't built for you. The method books were written for seven-year-olds. The YouTube tutorials have no roadmap. And nobody was teaching adults how to actually practice.
Piano Kickstart is your starting point. Not a teaser. Not a watered-down preview. A real, complete first week of piano - built on classical fundamentals, adapted for busy adults, with music that actually sounds worth playing.
No Mary Had a Little Lamb. No guilt. No confusion about what to do next.
Just seven days, three real songs, and proof that you can actually do this.
What makes this different:
It’s built on time-tested classical fundamentals adapted for busy adults
It helps you start with songs that feel satisfying to play, not kiddie-sounding pieces
It gives you a clear plan so you know exactly what to practice and how to practice
Piano Kickstart is the first step in my full Piano Skool system. Some students choose to continue into the 100-Day program for deeper transformation, structure, and feedback.
So no - this isn’t a throwaway freebie. It’s the real first step of a complete piano-learning system!
Try it, and if you love it - share it with your family and friends!


I'm not a YouTube personality who learned piano last year.
I'm a recording artist and professional pianist with a Master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music, 17 million Spotify streams, and 15 years teaching adult beginners — the actual humans who start with no background and discover they can actually do this.
I've watched smart, motivated adults fail for the same preventable reasons over and over:
No roadmap. No feedback. No music they actually cared about. Guilt that turns into avoidance. Apps that teach features instead of outcomes. Method books written for seven-year-olds.
Piano Kickstart is where you start. Seven days. Real songs. Both hands. No excuses left.
And if you want to keep going — the 100-Day Roadmap and Piano Club are waiting. Three steps. One destination. You becoming a pianist.
I'm not a YouTube personality who learned piano last year.
I'm a recording artist and professional pianist with a Master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music, 18 million Spotify streams, and 15 years teaching adult beginners - regular people who start with no background and discover they can actually do this.
And after years of teaching, I've watched smart, motivated adults fail for the same preventable reasons over and over:
No roadmap. No feedback. No music they actually cared about. Method books written for seven-year-olds. Motivation that fades. Guilt that turns into avoidance.
Piano Skool was built to change that.
My goal is to give adult learners an exceptional learning experience: structured, personal, fun, encouraging, and built around how adults actually want to learn.

Send a short video showing where you’re stuck,
and she'll review your playing and tell you what to fix.
❌ No extra charge.
✅ You did the work.
✅ She’ll help close the gap.
With 15+ years of teaching adults and 14,000+ hours at the piano, Stacey knows this 7-day plan works when you follow it.

\To qualify, you just need to:
Watch all lessons
Practice at least 20 minutes per day
Record one short clip of your best both-hands-together attempt from one of the songs you learned




Piano Kickstart is a 7-day, step-by-step piano program for adult beginners. In just one week, you’ll learn 3 real songs and follow a simple daily plan so you finally know exactly what to practice and how to practice. Along the way, you’ll build the essential foundations of piano playing through a clear method rooted in classical training.
Adult beginners, "rusty returners", and anyone who feels they have gaps in their piano knowledge and wants to play real music, not kiddie-sounding tunes, and follow a step-by-step plan to improve hand coordination and build strong piano foundations. If you can follow a short video and spend 20-30 minutes a day at the keyboard, this is for you.
No. You do not need to read music or have taken lessons before. I walk you through each step assuming you’re starting from zero.
Plan on about 10 minutes to watch the lesson and 10–20 minutes to practice. If you can consistently give it 20–30 minutes a day for one week, you’ll get the full benefit.
- A piano or keyboard (start with what you have)
- Internet connection and a device (phone, tablet, or laptop)
- Headphones are helpful but optional
That’s it!
Yes, it’s 100% free. Piano Kickstart is the first step of my full 100‑Day program. Some people love it and choose to keep going with my paid program. That's what lets me keep this first step completely free for everyone else.
Most free lessons are random. Piano Kickstart is a step-by-step plan: 7 days, 3 songs, and foundational training that focuses on the three most common problems: hand coordination, rhythm, and technique. In Piano Kickstart, you’re not just watching videos, you’re following a proven sequence to get you visible improvement.
By the end of the week, you’ll:
- Play 3 real pieces with both hands together
- Understand the basics of rhythm, foundational technique, and how to navigate the keyboard
- Sit down at the piano with more confidence, more enjoyment, and a real sense of progress.
You can move through the lessons at the pace that works best for you. Some people move faster, others take more time - what matters is that you keep going. You’ll keep access to the lessons, so you can revisit, repeat, or catch up whenever needed. The 7-day format is meant to give you focus and structure, not act as a deadline.
Most of my students are adults who thought the exact same thing. But no — you are not too old, and you do not need special talent to start. Most adults struggle not because of age or ability, but because they have never been given a clear plan and a consistent way to practice. If you can follow instructions, show up regularly, and keep going, you can absolutely improve.
Piano Kickstart is your test drive. It gives you a feel for my teaching style and gets you playing right away. If you want to continue, I’ll invite you into the 100-Day Roadmap, where you’ll follow a clear day-by-day plan, learn to read sheet music, build strong technique and rhythm, and get you playing intermediate-level pieces. In the higher tier, you can also get personalized weekly feedback from me to fix problems faster, stay on track, and move forward with more confidence.
You’ll get an email with your login and a “Start Here” video. Day 1 is ready immediately. You can begin today or tomorrow, but I recommend starting within 24 hours while you’re still excited.
Piano Skool teaches through our signature Play-Anything System — a step-by-step method designed to help adults learn real songs while building the skills to eventually figure out music on their own.
We don’t make students grind through the entire classical repertoire just for the sake of tradition.
Instead, we use the best parts of classical training — reading music, hand coordination, technique, rhythm, expression, and musicality — to give students the foundation they need to play the songs and pieces they actually want to play.
When you’re classically trained, your options open up.
You’re not limited to simple chord patterns or basic left-hand accompaniment.
You can learn classical pieces, movie themes, worship songs, pop arrangements, rock ballads, and more — because you understand how music works on the page and under your hands.
We balance playability with impressive sound, so the music feels achievable but still sounds beautiful on the piano.
So unless your main goal is advanced improvised jazz, our method is built to help you become the kind of pianist who can read, learn, practice, and perform real music with confidence.
Piano Kickstart is a self-paced 7‑day challenge – you don’t get 1‑on‑1 lessons or personalized feedback in this free program.
You’re not completely on your own, though. If something breaks (video won’t play, can’t access a lesson, sheet music issue), you can reach out through our student support form and we’ll help you get unstuck within 2 business days.
Our goal with Kickstart is simple: get you playing 3 real songs and feeling, “I can actually do this,” without needing constant hand‑holding.
If you already know you’ll want personalized feedback, you’ll see options for that after you complete the challenge.
