Since the 18th century, the piano has been an instrument of education and inspiration. It took over from the harpsichord and firmly established the tradition of keyboard instruments. Long before that, early forms of music notation allowed musicians to capture melodies on paper. Today, OKTAV continues that tradition, bringing the classical world of sheet music together with modern ways of learning.
OKTAV is a digital piano learning platform that lets you learn and practice from the comfort of your home. Think of it as your personal piano studio that’s always with you. This is where you can discover, revive, or deepen your love for the piano.
At the heart of OKTAV are video lessons that guide your piano learning step by step, interactive sheet music, and structured method books. Instead of burying you in dry theory, you learn with songs that are fun to play and keep you motivated.
Many people dream of learning piano but give up because the music they try is either too hard or too boring. With OKTAV, you start directly with songs from all kinds of styles and can play popular pieces like Für Elise, River Flows In You, or Comptine d’un autre été (from Amélie).
Every piece is assigned to a level – from easy beginner arrangements to advanced versions. You can gauge your progress by your current playing ability, see your progress, and gradually move up. This way you combine enjoyment with a clear learning path.
At the core of OKTAV is a large, constantly growing library of more than 20,000 piano pieces in many different styles, carefully licensed from major music publishers like Universal Music, Sony Music, Faber Music, and Schott Music. Instead of getting bogged down in theory, you dive straight into music you actually want to play – from pop and film music to the most beautiful classics in the piano repertoire.
The sheet music in OKTAV is interactive. You can listen to every piece, adjust the tempo, turn on a metronome, or loop specific sections. Practice becomes more structured and effective than with static PDFs. And of course, you can print out your favorite pieces whenever you like. Alongside solo piano literature, you’ll also find accompaniment arrangements and lead sheets – just like those used on keyboard or in bands.
In addition to interactive sheet music, OKTAV offers different learning formats to help you improve. You’ll find video lessons where experienced teachers show you how to learn piano from the ground up, refine specific pieces, polish your technique, or understand music theory.
If you’re short on time, there are quick learning units that focus on individual skills, such as chord playing, accompaniment patterns, or coordinating both hands. In addition, there are method books that guide you step by step through core musical topics.
Whether you’re just starting out, coming back after a break, or stuck at a particular point – you learn at your own pace. You can pause lessons, repeat sections, and use the content exactly when you have the time and focus to practice.
You can use OKTAV on different devices: as a piano app on iOS and Android or directly in your browser on a laptop or desktop computer. Many learners place a tablet on their piano to have sheet music, videos, and all interactive tools right above the keys.
OKTAV is made for beginners, returning players, and advanced pianists who want to learn online or systematically improve their playing. If you want to learn with songs, actually see your progress, and follow a structure that doesn’t overwhelm you, you’re in the right place.
Our promise: with OKTAV, it’s much easier and more enjoyable to practice regularly, stay motivated, and make real progress at the piano. You get a combination of sheet music, videos, and interactive tools. That way, your wish to “finally learn piano” becomes a natural part of your everyday life.
