National Piano Month: Discover the Beauty, History & Joy of the Piano

Celebrating National Piano Month with Emusic Piano

September marks National Piano Month—a time to reflect on the beauty, history, and impact of one of the world’s most beloved instruments. At Emusic Piano, we believe the piano isn’t just an instrument; it’s a gateway to self-expression, creativity, and lifelong learning.

Did you know National Piano Month was first established in 1991 by the National Piano Foundation? Since then, every September has been dedicated to honouring the piano—from its rich craftsmanship and history to the joy it brings performers and learners alike. Across the U.S., music schools, retailers, and piano teachers celebrate with recitals, practice challenges, and special promotions—making it a truly global moment to spotlight the instrument we love most.

The History of the Piano

From its invention in the 1700s by Bartolomeo Cristofori to the refined acoustic grands and uprights we know today, the piano has played a central role in shaping music. Its versatility—supporting solo, chamber, and orchestral performances—has made it timeless.

Why the Piano Still Matters Today

Versatility: From classical masterpieces to jazz improvisations, the piano adapts to every genre.
Learning Benefits: Piano training enhances memory, coordination, and creativity.
Accessibility: With modern digital pianos, students and families can enjoy authentic piano sounds in a compact, affordable form.

Inspiring Generations

National Piano Month is also about celebrating those who play. Whether you’re a beginner learning your first scale, a student preparing for exams, or a hobbyist rediscovering old favourites, the piano meets you at every stage.
