Our favorite piano practicing apps

The use of smartphones and tablets has skyrocketed during the last decade, and as a result, apps for learning to play musical instruments are becoming more and more common. One of the best things about apps is that they ‘gamify’ learning to read music. What would normally be repetitious practice is transformed into a fun challenge to continually beat your last score for speed and accuracy. Indeed, with MIDI and Bluetooth you can link your digital piano or keyboard directly into the online learning resources and have them assess your playing in real-time. While some of the best piano apps can make learning to play the piano seem easy, one app doesn’t necessarily check all the boxes. It’s important to understand what sort of piano player you are before selecting the piano app that’s right for you. Once you’ve got a sense of your musical and learning style, you can review the apps listed below to help you make the best choice.

Roland Piano Partner 2

Since its release in 2016, Roland Piano Partner 2 has gained positive reviews from industry specialists due to its multi-faceted functionality. Free on both iOS and Android devices, the app works with select Roland pianos that have Bluetooth MIDI functionality. Not only does it provide an interactive way to learn, but it also unlocks additional features such as an enhanced user interface for your piano. Acting as a remote controller for your piano, it allows you to adjust settings and select instrumentation from your device. In terms of learning potential, the app has many on board songs that come complete with notation for you to learn and play along to. Build your note recognition with the flash cards, or let loose on the rhythm section, which gives an entertaining selection of beats to play along with while showing you what you’re playing in real-time. It also comes with a Recorder and Diary function, so you can play back and evaluate your performances, as well as keep track of your practice sessions.

Simply Piano
