Have you always wanted to play the piano? This $20 training teaches you how

TLDR: The Complete 2021 Piano for Beginners Bundle is an all-in-one training package to get students of any age playing the keyboard with skill and confidence.

If you want your kid to be smarter, it can occasionally mean some tough love. But for all those times you make them do their homework or read a book instead of playing video games, you can practically see their brains getting bigger in front of your eyes. 

Turns out, you can also add music to that list. According to one study, 3 and 4 year olds who were given keyboard music lessons for six months performed more than 30 percent better in reasoning testing than kids without the training.

Yep, playing the piano really does make you smarter. And with The Complete 2021 Piano for Beginners Bundle ($19.99, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals), you can not only satisfy that long-smoldering dream of being an accomplished keyboard player, but literally force your brain into being smarter. How’s that for a win-win?
