This app is useful even if you don’t have a piano, as you can learn the basics using an onscreen piano keyboard. It has much simpler graphics than Yousician, and a more text-based teaching system that lacks videos and voice-over instructions, but this may help users concentrate on learning music without distraction. The lessons are organized into courses, like Piano Basics and Pop Chords I, and you can learn two courses for free. For access to more courses, you can subscribe for about $15 a month. Simply Piano is available only for iOS. Android users have a pretty good alternative in Perfect Piano. It is less of a formal teaching app than some rivals, but its onscreen graphics can help you learn to play along to many famous pieces of music, ranging from popular to classical. The app has an online chat service that lets you talk to other users who are also learning. And because Perfect Piano is meant for use with its onscreen keyboard or a plug-in MIDI keyboard controller, it may suit you if you don’t have a piano at home. Perfect Piano is more fun to use than other similar apps, and it is free (with paid access to its full range of features). It is also available for iOS. Learning to play guitar is a staple of college life, and the Uberchord app (free for iOS, with an Android version in the works) has students covered. This app listens as you play a real guitar and includes guidance on tuning and lessons on playing chords. It has fun extras like a daily “workout” to keep fingers nimble and the option to create your own songs to practice. Finally, there’s one musical instrument that people come by naturally: a singing voice. The SingTrue app, which is free for iOS, is intended to help beginner singers improve. The app’s minimalist design and interface make it easy to use. Through a variety of exercises, it helps you understand how to make the most of your voice, offering great visual feedback when it analyzes your singing. You just have to get over the embarrassment of singing to your iPhone. (I’ve sung all my life, and though SingTrue showed how rusty I’ve become, it was still fun to use.)

What is the newest instrument in the world?

The result is the Evolano — an “evolved piano.” The instrument has keys, action and hammers like a piano, aligned along a central ruler. The strings move with the keys, sliding over a curved fret that determines pitch.

What possesses someone to invent a new instrument? Ask the finalists of this year’s Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, and you get different answers — among them boredom, curiosity, frustration. The creative impulse is often sparked by a question: What if a piano could sing? How does a guitar learn to play microtones? Can a keyboard instrument be taught to swoop like a cello? Some of the entrants had to widen their skill sets to encompass woodcarving or soldering. One sought help from his plumber; another from his Lego-obsessed 7-year-old. In a normal year, finalists get to see their creations come to life in front of live audiences. Though the annual competition, organized by the Georgia Institute of Technology, took place online this year, videos submitted by the contestants have allowed viewers to dip into a world teeming with ingenuity. On Friday, the university announced the winners. The guitarist Kaki King, one of the judges, said in an interview that it had been well-nigh impossible to compare and rank entries that included a harp-guitar hybrid and an electronic khipu based on an ancient Andean encryption method using knotted strings. King said that what ultimately guided her was the tactile allure and magnetism of an invention.
