How to Choose a Focus Area and Level

You can choose any Focus Area and any level—and you can switch later. The goal is to pick something that excites you and commit long enough to see progress.

Step-by-step: choose your focus

Go to your Dashboard.
In the Focus widget, browse the available focus cards (for example, Blues Piano, Piano Foundations, and others).
Click the focus that interests you most right now.
Choose your level: Beginner or Intermediate+.
Confirm your selection. Your dashboard will update to show your new path.

Beginner vs Intermediate+

Beginner

Best if you’re new to this topic

Start here if the style or concept is mostly new to you. You’ll build fundamentals step by step through six Practice Actions.

Intermediate+

Best if you already have basics down

Choose this when you’re comfortable with the fundamentals and want a deeper challenge in the same topic.

Not sure where to start? Pick any focus that excites you and choose Beginner. You can always move up to Intermediate+ later in the same topic.

Which focus should I pick?

There’s no single “right” answer. A good rule of thumb:

Pick what you want to play right now. Motivation matters more than perfection.
Stay with one focus for at least 2 weeks before switching. Depth beats constant hopping.
Match your level honestly. Beginner is not “easier”—it’s the right starting point for that topic.

Tip: On your dashboard, click Which Focus Should I Choose? or What are Focuses? inside the Focus widget for a quick video overview.

Can I change my mind later?

Yes. You can switch focuses or levels at any time. Your progress is saved per focus and level, so switching doesn’t erase work you’ve already done in another path.
