Levels 1 to 3 are free forever — no trial, no expiry, no account required. SIX LEVELS THAT GROW WITH YOU Free forever: Level 1 — One hand: [melody only] Level 2 — Left hand: [the bass line beneath the melody] Level 3 — Both hands: [melody and bass together] PlaySprout Pro: Level 4 — Both hands: [fuller harmony and chords] Level 5 — Accompaniment [patterns] and arpeggios Level 6 — Voiced melody and bass — the way a pianist really plays a song WHY PLAYSPROUT Learn by listening — no [sheet music required] Beautiful, realistic pi**[ano sound]** See the answer on a real staff whenever you want Melodies in the warm, [singable style you] already love Fresh exercises every time, across many keys Short sessions that fit into a busy day FOR EVERY PLAYER Whether you're a curious [beginner, a returning player picking things] back up, or a student building serious musician**[ship, PlaySprout meets you]** where you are.
