At least teach us all parts of sheet music and giving us a medium selection of songs, please. Frustrating and an iffy teacher, only fun sometimes Jan 10, By some dummy user uwu.
Even so, these songs are just filler, and they waste space that could have been used for a better, more educational lesson. You either get to use your trial of a week of free premium, or you have to pay to play anything else.
Even just 3 or 4 more free lessons could help you learn more. Even just adding 1 or 2 Minecraft themes could fix this. By SammichTheSammichSammich. And you know what, it was decent until I needed to pay premium to continue on with my lessons. I set up a new profile and everything, and thought he would at least learn a few things, but man it was way to fast-paced for him. I tried to calm him down but little brothers are the worst. A few days later he tried again, and got further, I guess.
Basically, no, your toddler is not going to learn piano with this app. See All Expert Reviews. I love the piano lessons app May 10, By kloveswjw. This app is an absolute steal Jul 1, By SUJovian. A lot of the songs have an accompanying drumbeat track with a tempo that is completely mismatched with the music. In a way, it forces you to focus and tune out distractions which adds to the challenge, but it should be an option to turn it off.
All in all, if you have a piano and want to improve your skills, this app is a no brainer and more than worth every penny. Amazing app Aug 29, Simply the best Sep 1, By AlbaFelix1.
My family and friends are so impressed by it. As I said: simply the best! If you really wanna learn something, it will never be easy!
But Simply piano makes it fun and easy some how haha.. Simply piano are so on point in getting back to you right away! And tbh, has been always me! Lol but they are so nice that anyways, they always walk me through haha. I love the reward songs after every lesson!! By Graceskyoo. Technically, I would just rated 4 stars for this app since there is always room for improvement.
However, I rated it 5 stars for a very personal reason. I learned to play piano on and off throughout my childhood but gave it up during my mid teen. Thinking I will never be able to play perfectly, I even began to hate the instrument since it kept reminding me that I have no musical talent. I even tried to avoid anyone who can play like my friends and cousins when they play. However, I have come to realise that nothing is actually stopping me from finding musical talent but myself.
So now almost 28, I decided to start again through this app. I initially hesitated due to the price and that often times, subscriptions are hard to cancel. But surprisingly, I have come to love it.
Now playing it almost everyday whenever I can, the house is filled with simple melodies. He has always hoped that one day, his children will touch the keys again. I recommend this to anyone who are struggling to reconcile with piano and music. Keep the app running for old iOS please!! Some of us still use old iPads. So I downloaded the app since I saw a couple adds about it and thought to get it. I did have a piano but I started playing a bit already but not a lot.
The start helped me remember how the notes looked since I already knew them How to play them and what fingers to use But when I finished all the courses and it was the final one and I was so excited to finish it until it told me to get subscribed to continue. I really thought that it was free since the adds didn't add it. So I would say its a good learning app but too expensive for me to continue or maybe other people who cant pay it and there is also an issue, while I was playing it took some background noise as notes and when I tried to do them they would either do it by them selves or it would say I'm wrong.
I really hope these issues will be resolved and that maybe just maybe the price will go down or maybe even free. Like 3 months is HALF of 12 months more. You expect me to pay dollars for a stupid piano app!?! Aug 4, By Derpybananagirl. So it kinda taught me how to play like 5 keys and then I taught me ode to joy but I already know that sooo yeah.
In the beginning it asked what song I wanted to learn first I chose baby shark so I can annoy my friends with it lol and when I finally got to the point where I could play it Excuse me what?!?! If not that then make the price lower maybe like 6 dollars a month that would still give you 72 dollars a year! And more people will probably get the membership thing. Not everyone is rich! The way it hears your notes is cool! But is a big no no. This game is so stupid! By Julka shadow. I saw many ads for this app and thought it looked fun so I downloaded it, making the account was pretty straight forward but it starts off by offering to sell crap to you immediately.
I hate it Jun 4, By ijustsingintheshower. Top 3 vs Worst 3 Features. Android Wear support. Similar to Simply Piano by JoyTunes. Best thing so far Nov 16, By madzia I did find that other applications have the same issue though more.
A new way to learn? Oct 10, By NoahDJamison. This is the best piano app I have ever tried. Whether you were trained classically with the piano, or have been recently introduced to it, this app will proved you with a way of discovering new pieces that might have been more difficult otherwise.
For those who are accustomed to reading from traditional sheet music, I beseech you to give this more modern take the fare opportunity it deserves. The best, most versatile piano app, for all skill levels Jul 2, By Ashenfelder. Learn how to improvise or learn specific songs. If you know a little about playing the piano, it can help you improve. Look at me. Jan 28, By Andu This app is incredible. The lessons alone are worth it to me but the songs included means I will be using this app for quite some time.
Highly recommended Jan 21, By ushjehejsjs. Thanks to this app, I learned how to play both hands in literally ONE day!!! I highly recommend this app! For those who have want a free basic learning app for both hands, get it!!
Thank you!!! Awsome Dec 15, By Real Life Sango Church. Weight mode is where you can play along with it and I will recognize the note. And then you can also choose between left-hand right hand or both hands. I love Flowkey so much I use it every day. My sister and mom love it, but Dec 7, By Named Name It already has a full piano album and translates so well to piano! Alright, this service works well and taught my sister how to play the piano.
It was the Celeste game soundtrack by Lena Raine that got me to love piano music. Some of them would make great songs for beginners, but would be enjoyable to learn for anyone. I reiterate, this app works wonderfully and already has a large library of songs, but I personally have a harder time due to music preference. Best Piano App Oct 14, By Fabjnhbhbhubub. Ever since I was little I wanted to learn piano. This app has me sitting behind my piano at least 2 hours a day!
I get to learn all the classical songs I always dreamt of! I get to pause the video and rewind what a teacher would show me as many times I can. I get to pick out short minuets and practice techniques. I mean this app is just amazing!! I tried a bunch of apps out there, there is nothing like this. Thank you a thousand times!! S more. Frustrating Apr 22, By StephCon Flowkey needs to work in the technical functionality of the app before charging so much.
The selection of songs is alright and the idea of the app is great, but it barely works. The wait mode on the app was interesting, but it cannot hear certain notes and you have to play them over and over. Every time I use it, I feel more frustrated rather than having fun or learning something. I wasted my money on this app. By taylorevans. I get to repeatedly hit D And E until the dumb app hears it.
Other notes I hit wrong and it keeps flowing thru the music. By drclaiborne. Compared to other piano learning apps, this one has a good variety of musical selections and a decent methodology. That said, if you play on a real piano, I cannot recommend this app. It simply has too much trouble picking up the notes, even when played correctly, particularly in the lower register.
I therefore cannot recommend this app unless you own a midi piano with the proper hardware to connect to an iPad. Extremely poorly designed Jun 26, By Long-suffering. The tempo on the example tracks changes speed inexplicably. The whole thing is a piece of junk. Just glad I was still within the free trial period. Avoid this lousy app. Bad Audio Recognition Mar 4, By kentahallis. This is particularly prevalent in two-handed learning.
First lesson Aug 21, By jcmodmba. First lesson - very interactive Good luck - I believe any young person age 10 and up cpu;d do well with this Modern Practice, Fun Selection Aug 29, It offers a variety of music in different genres and skill levels from beginner to advanced. Each song includes sheet music and video demonstration with the ability to practice hands separately, vary the tempo, and isolate music sections. It complements my lesson work and has helped me learn faster. I highly recommend Flowkey for students.
A must have, Funtastick app! Dec 21, By MigLuciano. I had been away from the piano for far too long and Flowkey has made remembering some forgotten classical music easier than starting from scratch again. Thank you for all the hard work put into providing such a resourceful and fun way to play piano.
Thanks in advance, I wish you all a joyous holiday season. Best in update and chat system Dec 29, By Ali kashfi. I purchased flowkey 8 months ago.
Actually I bought a new Yamaha U1 piano after purchasing flowkey one year version. I took the lessons step by step and some times asked question in chat section and the answered me under 24 hours.
Now after 8 months I can play Advanced songs. In first days I couldn't believe 8 months later I can play thin kind of difficult songs.
In my period of learning this 8 months I mean , Flowkey made over 4 hundreds songs in 4 levels. Unquestionably best App I have ever experienced in Piano learning. Love it! Jan 26, By Miles-co. Love this freaking app! We got a Yamaha piano p for Christmas for our family, and it came with three free months of flowkey.
What a great combo. I quit piano lessons after a year in fifth grade. Never made it to two hands, and flowkey had me playing with two hands in a few days. But I do love the scrolling as a great learning method.
Also buy a MIDI chord to recognize the notes spot on. The mic did good enough, but with the direct link I can play with headphones or a lot of noisy kids in the background and not miss a note.
Learning Piano to do a different instruments s Dec 6, By Defre'. Try is the best thing to do to help people who want to pay. Super janky Apr 21, By Silkylove What the heck is wrong with this app Nov 29, By funday fun game.
By Meepow. I have been searching everywhere for an app or book that can teach me to play piano but I was not successfully. This app sounded like a good idea I learned to play a simple song: ode to joy. I am signing up for it now. Your blog looks absolutely amazing, thank you for putting so much work into it! Most of the time, I am not even listening to the podcast or sometimes japanese music , it just plays in the background. Do I just need to listen more, or do I need to learn some base vocabulary first?
I absolutely agree with you! Listening Listening Listening! I just listen to a lot of J-pop music and learn some of the structures using online material it also helps with the writing.
It is a valuable tool that most people overlook, and it also helps connect the meaning of the words directly to the brain as well as arranging the words in the correct order according to patterns picked up from listening.
When learning a first language as a baby, most people are exposed to their native language for a year or more before they start learning to speak and understand it! The same is theoretically true with a second language! This article is useful and inspiring to those who wish to learn another language, no matter what language that may be! Please check it out!
I was wondering if anyone felt the same. Hey, I have a question. Hey, I guess its a little late to comment on this post but I figured this one would be the most fitting.
Listen to broadcasts!!!! What did you say? Me neither Ah. Firstly, I agree. It works like magic. Okay, based on my experience, I began by basically listening to Japanese songs.
Not any song, but those that I really liked — alot. I digress. So, I began to feel frustrated after a while. I loved a tune of a particular song but the meaning of it escaped me.
And being into music lyrics alot previously, I just had to know what the words meant. Listening is akin to immersing oneself in the culture so to speak.
A few things yes, but ONLY a couple random tidbits…! Even if I have subs on or a great book! D; agh-help? Like, imagine you sit down and study for an hour. And you think, wow, a whole hour! Wheres me results? Basically that aint but a grain of sand on the beach. Listen for a thousand hours, and you can climb a few rungs of the ladder. So be honest, how much did you listen? We are talking several thousand hours to really get somewhere i.
Dialogue is a lot better than music also try podcasts. Now I understand almost all of both. But that took several thousand hours of listening, and not much of that was music. You just need to buckle down and do some serious work man. You also have to learn the vocabulary if you want to learn a phonetic language like Chinese or Japanese. Clear, high quality streams of news and other subjects with speech at native speeds in podcast form. For watching animes, do you recommend turning the English subs off, even for a newbie?
What about Japanese subtitles? In this case I can work during the whole and listen to target language. It is really helping my comprehension. In other words, I will be totally immersed which is the key, right?
Yes, you got it Zamir… folow me on Twitter… twitter. Ok, I follow you. However, our aims is the same. To be fluent in some langauge. And I think I already god about hours of it. Thank you all guys, the author, all people who commented on the article and also Ryan you have inspired me.
What language are you learning Zamir… I have years of experience in learning other languages. I could definitely direct you to some important resources. Any help will be totally apeciated. Nice, I know a little Russian myself.
Awesome langugage! For starters I can direct you to a thread which describes some English podcast worth listening to…. Guys, and one more thing. What is the most usefull and fun way to do that? Read comic books spider-Man, batman, superman , read novels, read magazines, watch TV shows, movies…. I would say listening in better then not listening but comprehensible listening blows just listening out of the water any day.
There are of them. I think a balance of extensive and intensive and comprehensible input is the most important thing you can do for your language study.
Extensive listening, or listening to a range of material that is kind of above your level, is indispensable for getting used to the rhythm of the language.
In any language, lack of rhythm will make you sound seriously off. You will naturally start to use native-like tone variations in different combinations etc, and will be way more accurate in general.
Great article! Go figure. I know that this is true because well, this is how I learned English. I am Arabic. How did you learn? You just do. Firsthand account as to the importance of input, get! Thanks; that comment gives me more motivation to do stuff in Japanese. Thank you for the great article, I would like to take the chance to invite japanese tutors and students who are asking themselves how to learn japanese as a native speaker to have a free view on this excellent website that offers japanese conversation classes preply.
Im not at the point of fluency now but i can express endless ideas and can understand maybe 60 percent of what i hear in only a year, and many times more then that, it just depends on the material.
The point is I noticed the greatest gains when i put this listening into practice after only few months i realied soemthing was happening, The language was no longer a jumble of sounds, i didnt know what they were saying but i knew when words all began stopped and sentence structure was being burned into my long term memory as well as words since i was hearing them over and over.
Its extremely rare now i come across a grammar structure or sentences structure that gets me, meanings its usually very rare.. And again, i have to agree and somewhat vindicate you when you talk about and this is genius not talking first and how it will simply come trough exposure, it really really does, im online now talking on skeyp to Japanese people and the might have to correct me twice in a conversation and they are always shocked at my vocab etc etc…i never EVER practiced talking it just happened, wow thanks khatz let me just tell you all, it can and does work!
S not being employed for a year has obviously helped haha, ive been able to truly dedicate my days to Japanese, I have even been recently asked by a radio haost to give him my translations of Japaneses near death experiences so that he can compare them to english! Thanks for sharing this post. The more hours exposed to a language, the faster a person can start speaking and comprehending the language.
