PianoStart

Get to know the piano keys, follow clear notes and practise well-known melodies at your own pace. For iPhone and iPad.

Learn piano, one note at a time.

PianoStart helps beginners find the keys and play simple melodies on iPhone and iPad. Start with short key exercises and move on to well-known songs such as Ode to Joy, Twinkle, Twinkle and the opening of Für Elise.

PRACTISE AT YOUR OWN PACE Follow the score and the highlighted key. In practice mode the song waits for the right note, so you can take the time you need. A mistake counter helps you keep track of your playing.

PLAY ON YOUR OWN PIANO Use the microphone with an acoustic piano or a digital keyboard. Choose your instrument type and microphone sensitivity in Settings. Note recognition is designed for one note at a time and is affected by volume, background noise and placement. You can also practise on the app's on-screen keys without the microphone.

PLAY ALONG WITH THE MELODY After completing a song exercise you can play along with the melody, with a count-in, adjustable tempo and pause. Microphone mistake counting during playback requires headphones, so the app doesn't listen to its own melody. Skipped notes are not counted as mistakes.
