From Parents
My children have learned so much from this program! After they complete a lesson they love to teach me and practice what they learned. The colors and repetition is so engaging to them!! I’m so happy I found this during COVID. It helped my kids enjoy music and learn the notes!

★★★★★I am blown away with how far my 5 and 3 year olds have come by using prodigies for the last year. Music is such a joy in our home now! They have perfect pitch and can play many of the songs on multiple instruments. They can even pick out the notes on their favorite non-prodigies song and play them! I love the solid music foundation that this has given them.
Katie Wenzel
As a homeschool mom in a small town, of 2 school age children, a toddler and baby, we love prodigies! We would be stretched so thin trying to keep our kids in music lessons that we would have to travel for, plus we are always on the go anyway and this allows us to continue that lifestyle. It is so exciting that they are always expanding and improving the courses and variety of instruments! We are able to work on different things tailored to each child and that is so great! I don't have any background in music, although I always wished I did, now I get to enjoy it along with my children! It is so neat to watch them interact and all have an understanding of the music and apply things like the associated colors or hand signs to different things in their life. My children are 7, 4, 2 and 5 months at the moment and we have had prodigies for almost 2 years now!

This has been so great for my kids, ages 23 mos to 6 yrs. My youngest can always recognize “Do” just by hearing the note and even sings “Do Re Mi Do” over and over to himself all day. It’s super cute. My kids love this. We do it daily after breakfast.
Tia Redford PrattMom, Breakfast Lover
"My youngest son developed perfect pitch before he was age 4 by using Mr. Rob's lessons! He is 5 now, and loves to point what notes his Dad is playing on the guitar.
When he can't think of the name of a note he wants to hear, he says stuff like "Mom, I want the song that starts with a G Note! Prodigies music lessons are amazing!"
Jenni Lemerand
★★★★★Harrison started with Prodigies when he was 8 months old. Now at 2 years old, he's developed perfect pitch! The work created at Prodigies is really special. Kids can learn so many music skills when given early exposure to music. Prodigies takes the guesswork out and has fun & engaging videos, instruments and materials to guide children to excel with music. I am so happy we didn't wait til he was older to start him in music lessons! He begins every day wanting to play music and it brings so much life to our home. Thanks Prodigies!
Jason WebbDad
My oldest (almost 5) LOVES this program. He asks to watch it constantly, and he’s learned a ton in just over 2 months. My youngest (18 mos) also absolutely loves playing with bells, tapping along to sweet beats, and laughs every time he sees the baby. THANK YOU! I’m very excited to get the kids interested in music so early in life.
Kelly Knight Churbuck
★★★★★Our 7, 4, and 2 year old kids absolutely adore Prodigies Music Lessons, and as professional musicians ourselves, my husband and I are extremely impressed as well. We started out with the free trial, but knew after only a week that we’d become long-term subscribers. The lessons and workbooks are so engaging and fun, covering the fundamentals of music and ear training skills in such a low-pressure and easy-to-understand format. We only started a couple of months ago, but Prodigies has already fostered such an incredible love of music in our kids, and they keep wanting to come back for more each and every day, because above all else, they are having so much fun! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a wonderful program!
Mikaela FelsteadMom
★★★★★The lessons are presented in such an intuitive and engaging way. My two year old begs me to do lessons and can already pick out notes on the piano. Thanks Prodigies!

From Teachers
★★★★★This is the greatest resource I have found in my 28 years as a music educator! The K-3rd graders love everything about “Mr. Rob videos!” I also use it at home with my teenage daughter with special needs and my two young grandsons (5 & 6 years old)!
Mike GreenMusic Teacher
★★★★★I found Mr Rob on YouTube when I was looking for ideas for my ESE music class. I am teaching it for the first time. It turns out they LOVE it and so do my other classes when I show it. I teach Middle School Orchestra 6-8 and have incorporated lessons where needed to reinforce concepts. It makes learning music theory and singing so much fun!
Karen DillardMusic Teacher
★★★★★This program has revitalized my 30 year teaching career! Bravo! My students are engaged and learning at a rapid rate. I use this program with my existing xylophone fleet and Boom Whackers with much success! Video lessons allow me to float around the room and correct students hand position and provide one on one instruction where needed. Older students also love the Recorder program. I am able to provide better feed back & it is saving my voice. ❤️this program!
Donna TubgyMusic Teacher
★★★★★I am a piano and Orff specialist, who focuses on ages 3-10. Prodigies music is the best listening and theory component for my youngest students that I have found, and they progress much faster on their musical skills because it is a very easy way for parents to support home practice. And even my older kids enjoy the videos, even if they pretend to be too sophisticated to enjoy them (there is nothing like hearing a 15 yr old sight singing with a 5 year old) The workbook pages are a big plus, too, as is the sheet music, The lifetime membership has been one of the best investments I have made for my studio.
Donna MetlerMusic Teacher
★★★★★I love Prodigies! I use it in my K-5th grade music classroom and all my students love it. I am super excited about the addition of the ukulele curriculum. Every time I see Rob at convention, he is just as enthusiastic in person as he is on the videos. I love that he personally answers my emails. You will not be sorry to become a lifetime member of Prodigies! Rob and his team are constantly adding to the program and the music is so good! If you are on the fence about signing up, tip yourself into the yes category! Do it today!
Christine JonesMusic Teacher
★★★★★I teach a free community preschool music class. Attendance is all over the place as far as age range and ability, but whether we have thirty kids or five... or they are babies or five year olds - the preschool prodigies lessons keep them engaged. I've seen two year olds singing and hand signing after only a few weeks. I also have five children of my own and all of them from the 15 mth old to the 10 year old love the program. And all the new content that is constantly added. It is worth every penny.
Jennifer West KammerMusic Teacher
★★★★★The children love playing the bells. We recently had a school break and no music class for two weeks. The first thing the children were asking for on our next music class day was “can we play the bells!" There’s no better way to learning as when you are having fun at the same time!
Linda PelechMusic Teacher
Neuro Diverse
★★★★★The more I use this curriculum, the more I love it! I began using Prodigies about a year and a half ago. I started with a Prodigies monthly membership, but then saw the value of the curriculum and updated to a Lifetime membership. I really love that now I have access to the resources and all of the workbooks digitally. I am a certified music teacher and I use this curriculum both in my school music classes and my private piano classes. Here is one success story: One of my students has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It had gotten to the point where he had mastered all the material so far from the curriculum we were using, but he just could not learn to read the notes on the staff. So I decided to try the Prodigies curriculum, using the chroma-notes colors to help him read the music. He went from not being able to read at all, to breezing right through the music so long as it is colored. Thank you Prodigies!
Hanna ZemerlevMusic Teacher
★★★★★I started off with just a year membership but soon realized I wanted to upgrade. I love that this is really an interdisciplinary program. I can use my autistic son’s love of music and lead him into working on handwriting, patterning, math, etc. Our favorite times are our Sweet Beats jam sessions: 4 kids (ages 1,2,6,&9) and 2 adults having great fun and learning rhythm!
Juliet BetzelbergerMom
★★★★★I wanted to share this with you and say a giant thank you!! My 11 year old son performed at his middle school talent show last week. He has severe anxiety,autism, and additional developmental disabilities, but music has been how he connects. He has enjoyed the various Prodigies programs for years and felt confident enough to get up in front of his school and play Ode to Joy on his deskbells. It was one of the most amazing things he’s done, and you helped make that possible! Thank you for all you do…you’re changing lives!!
Alison ChristieMom
★★★★★I just want to express my sincere gratitude for all you are doing for young children! especially those with disabilities! My 7 year old has autism and absolutely loves everything prodigies!
Ashley NicoleMom
★★★★★My work as a music teacher is very specialized in that I work with strictly special needs students in a public school setting. Last year, I was teaching students to break up rhythms by syllable. I stumbled onto "Sweet Beets" which opened up my students to some extremely useful musical concepts. Since then we have started watching your videos- I would like to thank you for your excellent videos and let you know that I appreciate all of your hard work.
Colin S.Teacher
★★★★★I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this course!! My son is 3.5 and mostly non-verbal, was completely about 6 months ago but he's been in speech therapy for 1.5 years now. I have sang to him and used music since he was an infant and he's responded really well so when I seen this course I was super excited to check it out. We watched some of the videos to check out what the course was like and my son was hooked from the very beginning! We watched through one of the hour long videos and he fell in love with the rain and chord cloud video. We didn't understand for the longest time what he kept saying after till he was looking at the rain clouds last night and said "oh no, rain cloud... try again... chord cloud!" we realized he has been saying C-Chord almost constantly since we watched the videos.
I registered last night for the program and he heard the song at the end of the welcome video and came running over to me and said "C-Chord!? Thank you mom!!!" and got so excited. We watched the first Sweet Beets video and he actually brought me to tears. When we watched the videos before I just sang and signed and he watched. He stopped me last night and sat there trying to sing the words to the song and was actually singing beet and cherry in rhythm. That was such an incredible deal for him, because even though he was struggling with saying the words, he was still singing it. He's never responded verbally to anything like he has with your course! He woke up this morning and immediately came and asked for C-Chord, and has been dancing and singing to the videos all day! Sorry for the incredibly long post but I was waiting to be able to come on here and thank you. I can't even express how happy I am that you created this course and how happy I am that I found it! Thank youFalon KartzMom
From Prodigies Lifetime Members
★★★★★I am so happy with Prodigies! I’m thrifty and have zero regrets investing in the Lifetime Membership. My 2 year old and 5 year old love music and I love watching their brains grow. Confession: I’ve used the membership to read music and learn to play the piano by myself as an adult. I am so proud of myself and the love of learning I’m instilling in my children. Worth. Every. Penny.
Shannon WolfMom
★★★★★The lifetime membership is a gift that keeps on giving. My kids are 6 & 3 and they both love participating with the videos. I love how organized the program is laid out for you. It has calendars to track practice, a guide to follow, and a fun workbook to teach other skills with the video. My son is not a big fan of workbooks, but he loves seeing what page we will do next with prodigies. He asks for more practice each day 🙂 It has helped improve his fine motor skills while he thinks he is just playing fun songs. Thank you Prodigies!
Jenny McDanielMom
★★★★★I’ve reviewed before but it’s been long enough that it’s time to come back and say the Lifetime membership just KEEPS GETTING BETTER. Mr. Rob and staff are continually improving the product. As a small company they listen and respond to feedback. The best result of all, though, is how much my students love it!
Amber LynnTeacher
★★★★★The lifetime membership is an incredible value for our homeschooling family. We really want to imbue the love of music in our children by introducing music lessons in a way that brings delight. This program fits the bill! My preschool-aged children love Mr. Rob’s energy and the colorful animation keeps them thoroughly engaged. The playground is constantly being improved and expanded, too. We are happy with our purchase.
Ariel PetushkovMom, Homeschool Teacher
★★★★★We bought the Lifetime package at Christmas for our 2.5yr old and absolutely love it! I’m an early yrs teacher in the U.K. and know how important music is early on. My son loves his bells, and now with the structured program - he can follow the visual and fun tunes and interact whilst learning at the same time. Sweet Beets is his favourite followed closely by Doh a deer! Not regretting the cost and looking forward to the years of pleasure and musical adventures that await! 😉
Carol BakerMom, Teacher
★★★★★Wow! This program is amazing and my kids who are 6, 4 and 2 absolutely love it! They are learning so much and always want it on. As a musician myself this is such a great all rounded package with the videos downloadable sheets and lesson plans for parents covering so much about music and theory in a really fun way. Can’t believe my two year old actually sings solfege – I remember doing it at music college! So much fun and really pleased with the lifetime membership as I know the cost of music lessons myself and this can grow with them and they can access it whenever we want. Thank you Prodigies!
Amanda C.Mom
★★★★★My children’s love for music has blossomed under your enthusiastic and skillful guidance via the Prodigies program. As a qualified Occupational Therapist who spent years working with children, I would highly recommend your program to any parent who is looking for fun ways to enhance their preschooler’s development during this incredibly important life phase. We live in a part of the world where internet access can be unreliable at times. Lifetime access has made it possible to download music lessons (in addition to the worksheets and songbooks) and have them instantly accessible anywhere, anytime. Prodigies has added a new and awesome dimension to our lives. Thank you so much for taking my kids along on this fun and fantastic journey through the basics of music.
Marina la GrangeOccupational Therapist
★★★★★Excellent resource for teaching pitch and rhythm to little ones. Plus, with Lifetime access, you can download and show content on-the-go without an internet connection! It’s great for car rides, or even doing the lessons in a studio without reliable internet services. Your one-stop shop for taking students of all ages on a journey they’ll never forget.
Emily's Music StudioStudio Instructor
★★★★★We decided to invest in the Lifetime membership and I’m so happy we did. My three year olds are picking up rhythm and direction following so it’s nice to be know we will have all of these resources to meet them at their level and take as much time as we want. We have seen a love of music blossom and rhythm start to emerge. I love how easy the program is because I have no musical training, so I can still work with my kids, and I’m learning too! I recommend this program to everybody because I think the value is there.
