I am surprised there are so few ratings, this app is a real gem! The thought and care that went into it is incredible.
Unlike any other app, this app gives actual piano lessons, taking the student through a piano learning curriculum with MusicTheory and complete piano pieces at varying levels of difficulty so that students of all backgrounds can benefit. There is also a growing library of pieces outside of the lessons.
Regardless of other applications that students may be using, this app has a place, because it gives detailed feedback on how well you play and incentivizes you to repeat things until they are played well.
It has features that no other app has in terms of giving feedback on your accuracy of playing notes, timing, rhythm and note duration. The visual feedback is particularly cool and very helpful for recognizing whether you are playing correctly or not as you play.
Although the app is most useful for young students learning piano, I feel it is also for proficient players given the library of pieces outside the lessons and the very useful feedback on my playing.
The app is constructed to be very attractive to younger audiences. It also has a mode for adults which I find fine, and I am fine ignoring being called “earthling.”
The app truly uses AI technology by adjusting how it teaches you based on how well you are doing. It is like a real piano class with personal feedback and instruction by a teacher, as well as a practice area and then an audition, which gives you a score based on how well you play through the piece.
Most helpful is that at the conclusion of each level you are asked to audition three random pieces from the level of the course that you have completed. It’s a simulation of an actual recital which you must complete well enough to pass to advance to the next level. Doing this I feel like I’m actually playing before a live audience, which is extremely helpful.
Finally, I must commend the team who created this app, particularly the inventor, who provides very timely personal support for any technical issues. The inventor is a very experienced piano teacher, and this shows when using the app. It is truly high-quality and though more expensive than other piano apps it is worth the cost, and much more convenient and less expensive than in-person piano lessons (which it is not intended to replace).
I plan on using this to become proficient enough to become worth taking the more expensive lessons. I was so impressed with this app that I purchased three years of the lessons.
