Welcome to our very first TikTok round-up! 🎉
This month, we’ve launched headfirst into sharing more of what actually goes on at ePianos – the fun bits, the flustered bits, and the musical experiments in between.
If you’re someone with the attention span of a gnat (like me) then TikTok is absolutely the place to catch us. We’re posting behind-the-scenes clips, unboxings, gear reveals, and even the odd video of us trying to figure things out on the fly.
Here’s what we’ve been up to this July…
So I decided to see if it’s actually possible to learn piano in 2025 without a piano teacher. Brave, I know.
In this series, I’ve been testing out every modern tool I could get my hands on – from Flowkey and Smart Pianist to YouTube tutorials and even Duolingo.
Flowkey honestly blew me away. You can loop tricky sections, choose which hand to focus on, and there’s even music theory built in. Plus, the song I learnt on there – Happy Birthday, a certified banger – has genuinely stuck with me. I’m going to become the worst person to invite to birthday parties because I will be whipping that out, each and every time.
YouTube’s great too – mainly because you can go entirely at your own pace. And by that I mean: pause, rewind, overthink, repeat.
The Smart Pianist app on the CSP was so fun – I actually got to play songs I recognised (shout out to Taylor Swift’s “Lover”), and felt like a pop star for a second with all the backings and accompaniment.
Duolingo was surprisingly good too – it helped me learn to read sheet music in an engaging way (and kept things feeling like a game). But wow… if you don’t have Premium, you will be watching a lot of ads. Like, a lot.
Anyway, here are the four TikToks from the series so far. Whether you’re a beginner too, or just fancy having a giggle at my piano face, give them a watch!
@epianosuk If you’ve ever wanted to learn piano but didn’t know where to start …. same. I’m testing different ways without a teacher and sharing my opinion on them !

@epianosuk ✨ Episode 2: Is it possible to learn piano without a teacher? ✨ This time I tried the Yamaha Smart Pianist app with my CSP-295 – it lights up above the keys which, I thought might just be a gimmick. But after a few attempts (and a lot of patience), I realised I was actually learning. Like, my hands just knew where to go. Wild. I picked Lover by Taylor Swift because obviously 💅 and I got a full-on backing track – not just me playing a melody. It felt like a proper performance and gave me a little confidence boost I wasn’t expecting. Also, the “Guide” setting waits for you to hit the right note before it moves on, which meant I wasn’t just winging it – I was actually learning the correct keys, muscle memory and all. I only explored a tiny part of what this app can do (theres loads to this app like personalising the sound of your piano and multi-track recording), but it’s been such a fun way to practise. Definitely going to keep coming back to it. Got any apps you’ve tried and liked? I’m doing Flowkey next 👀 foryou foryoupage fyp viral trending relatable piano pianotok pianotutorial Yamaha smartpianist pianoapp app
@epianosuk Tried Flowkey today — no premium, just loop mode, wait mode, and a whole lot of patience. ⠀ I spent way too long stuck on the same 4 bars, but eventually pulled off a very dramatic slow-mo Happy Birthday. ⠀ Honestly? Feeling proud. Next up: I attempt to learn sheet music… ⠀#fyp #pianotutorials #pianotok #Viral #learnpiano #foryoupagе #relatable #beginner #foryou #Piano #Yamaha trending
@epianosuk 🎹 I kept putting this one off… I thought learning to read sheet music would be boring and too difficult — especially compared to the more interactive ways I’ve tried to learn piano. But Duolingo really surprised me — it teaches you so gradually that it never feels overwhelming. It’s kind of fun… and actually made me want to keep going. That said — the free version has toooooo many adverts. Eventually, I managed to play Twinkle Twinkle just by reading the notes (very slowly… but still!). It finally feels like a skill that could stick. 🧠 Have you tried learning sheet music before? What worked for you — books, apps, or a real-life teacher?

Okay. Deep breath. This one was big.
We got our hands on the brand new Korg Kronos 3 – and let me tell you, we were buzzing to open it. This is one of the most powerful workstation keyboards Korg has ever released, and I had the absolute honour of doing the unboxing.
We kept it short and sweet on TikTok (because again… attention spans), but if you want the fuller juicier version, it’s over on YouTube too.
@epianosuk It’s here! 📦 The brand new Korg Kronos 3 just landed and I’m unboxing the first one at ePianos 👀🎹 Wanna see what’s in the box and get first impressions? Full video now on our YouTube! #fyp #foryoupagе #pianotutorials #pianotok unboxing #learnpiano #Viral #relatable kronos3 Korg Kronos brandnew new trending
If you liked what you saw, there’s plenty more over on our TikTok – and we’re only just getting started.
Got an idea for a video you want us to make? Something you’re curious about? Fancy seeing what David has for lunch? Honestly, nothing’s off the table.
Or if you’ve got a serious question or actually want to learn something useful – we do that too. Promise.
👉 Come find us at @ePianosUK and say hello!
