Piano games for kids: beats, note names, and a practice timer
By Eric Liu· Updated
This page is the studio's game warehouse. Each card is a named title with a screenshot. New games will be added here as they ship — you do not need a new email each time. They sit beside private 1:1 lessons, not instead of them.

Games you can play now
Three titles are live. The next game will show up on this same shelf — name, screenshot, and a play button.
Studio game warehouseBeat Game
Learn note values and tap the rhythm — how long a note lasts, then clap it back.
Built for children in piano lessons. Short rounds; no music-theory jargon required.

Studio game warehouseWho Am I?

Studio game warehouseMianbao Practice Timer
A practice Pomodoro plus a backyard of cats. Sit down, start the timer, earn dried fish, then add toys and plants so other cats come to visit.
Every child who comes to a lesson can adopt one electronic cat as a practice partner. Adults who want one are welcome too.

How games show up in a lesson week
A game is a named five-to-ten-minute task, not open-ended screen time. Beat Game for values and pulse; Who Am I? for note names; the practice timer to sit down and stay with the piece. Then close the tab — or keep the timer running — and play the assigned piece.
- Use it as a warm-up before the assigned piece, not instead of the piece
- Keep a round short enough that attention stays high
- If a note value or a key name is still fuzzy, bring that one question to the next lesson
