Fun, Color-Coded Music Lessons for Kids (Ages 2-12)

One of the best things about Prodigies is how many instruments it works with, and they all share the same color system, so skills transfer from one to the next. Here's everything your child can play along with.

Color-coded deskbells

Durable, well-tuned, and easy to play, our deskbells are the perfect starter instrument for young kids. Press to play, no technique required.

Glockenspiels & mallet instruments

Prodigies works wonderfully with glockenspiels and xylophones, a fun, slightly more challenging step up from the bells.

Boomwhackers

A classroom standard. All of our materials match the colors of Boomwhackers, so they slot right in for group play and rhythm fun.

Piano & keyboard

Follow along on any piano or keyboard. We recommend color-coding the keys with ChromaNotes piano stickers so the same colors carry over.

Recorder

Learn a first wind instrument with our medieval-themed series, Recorder Prodigies. Grab a recorder and play along.

Ukulele

Discover Hawaii's favorite stringed instrument in Ukulele Prodigies, a colorful introduction to the ukulele.

Percussion & body percussion

Most rhythm lessons can be followed by tapping, clapping, and stomping, or with simple hand drums. No instrument required to start.

The free Prodigies Bells app

No instrument yet? The free Prodigies Bells app turns any phone or tablet into a full set of color-coded bells.

Singing & solfege hand-signs

Your child's first instrument is their voice. Prodigies pairs singing solfege (Do Re Mi) with simple hand-signs to make pitch concrete, memorable, and fun.

Monthly ($14.99) is the lowest-commitment way to try Prodigies. Yearly ($149) is the sweet spot for most families who want a full school year. Lifetime ($349, payment plans available) is one-and-done — Foundations + Expansions lessons forever, no renewals, no surprises. Schools use a separate PK-5 site license starting at $295.

Prodigies is built for ages 2–12. Toddlers (2–3) love the Playtime Prodigies primer — high color, big rhythm, lots of singing. Ages 4–6 are the sweet spot for our core Level 1 chapters. Ages 6–12 can skip to Chapter 4+ and dive into Recorder, Ukulele, and Piano Prodigies. If your kid is on either edge, start with the free trial and we'll point you to the right starting place.

Anything with a screen. Stream from any web browser, or download the Prodigies app on iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Samsung TV. Same login works everywhere. (Quick note: Kindle Fire HD has limited support — most families use a phone or tablet instead.)

You don't need bells to start. The free Prodigies Bells App turns your phone or tablet into a full set of Deskbells, and many families use a piano, xylophone, or boomwhackers. That said, the physical Deskbells are the most-loved instrument in our shop — colorful, kid-proof, and backed by a 2-year, 3-bell replacement policy.

Yes, Prodigies works as a complete music curriculum for homeschool families. Most homeschoolers follow our 8-week chapter pacing (about 30 minutes, 2–3 times a week). The membership includes printable workbooks, lesson plans, sheet music, and a full scope & sequence aligned to Foundations + Expansions. Co-ops of 10+ families qualify for our bulk rate of $75/family/year.
