Can I use Simply Piano with headphones?

If you're using an acoustic piano or a keyboard without a MIDI connection, we highly recommend using headphones connected to your device while playing the app. This will prevent your microphone from picking up the background music from the app and improve note recognition accuracy.

Simply Piano uses the latest music recognition software to give you instant feedback. Here are our top tips to give you the best experience possible with our recognition engine. If you’re using an acoustic piano or a keyboard without a MIDI connection, we highly recommend using headphones connected to your device while playing the app. This will prevent your microphone from picking up the background music from the app and improve note recognition accuracy.

2. USE MIDI TO CONNECT YOUR KEYBOARD AND MOBILE DEVICE

If you are using a keyboard, we highly recommend using a MIDI connection to improve the accuracy of your note recognition. MIDI provides a direct connection from your keyboard to your device. While MIDI use is not necessary, it can avoid issues with note recognition, particularly when you get to playing more advanced music.

Here is a basic guide for setting up MIDI:

3. INCREASE KEYBOARD VOLUME, MINIMIZE BACKGROUND NOISE

Another way to improve note recognition is reducing the app volume and playing loudly by pressing the keys harder or turning up the volume (if you have a keyboard). Make sure your piano is tuned to concert pitch (A = 440 hz). If you have a keyboard, you may be surprised; many keyboards can also be tuned in different ways, so check your user manual to tune your keyboard if the tuning seems off. Practicing in a room with little to no distracting noise, such as other music or noise from outside, will help the app recognize what you’re playing better. If you usually have a case on your device, we also recommend removing it to make sure your microphone is uncovered.

Does classical music increase IQ?

Listening to classical music has not been shown to improve intelligence in children or adults. In fact, researchers have found that young children who watch classical music-based television learn fewer words, just as children who watch regular television do.

FALSE

In 1993, a small study showed that college students who listened to a Mozart sonata and then took an IQ test got higher spatial scores than those who didn’t. But this so-called “Mozart effect” wore off in less than 15 minutes and researchers disagree on the mechanisms behind it. Listening to classical music has not been shown to improve intelligence in children or adults. In fact, researchers have found that young children who watch classical music-based television learn fewer words, just as children who watch regular television do. However, learning how to play a musical instrument has been shown to enhance cognitive skills in the long term.
