As the name suggests, in Wait Mode, Flowkey will listen to your playing and wait for you to play the correct note. This is very useful for the beginner stages of learning a piece. The software will even let you select small sections of the piece to learn.

Read More »Nowadays, there are a multitude of “learn piano online” apps or programmes, designed to show you how to learn the piano without a teacher. These tools each have their merits and disadvantages. Some tools are better than others for certain things. One of the newest of these tools is called Flowkey. It's an app that you download to your PC, iPad or phone, that teaches you how to play songs on the piano. It contains numerous featured songs, in any category you could think of; classical, pop, R+B, even jazz and video game music. Flowkey is mainly aimed towards beginners. However, there are lots and lots of advanced pieces of music for those who want to play them but aren't yet able to read music well enough. Flowkey is free to try out. If you want to commit long term, it's €9.99 per month ($10.99 USD) if you purchase a yearly subscription. Compared with a real piano teacher, this is very affordable. Flowkey works with any type of piano by any manufacturer. It will work with:
, C♭, D♭, and E♭ Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. ... F-flat major. Dominant key C-flat major Subdominant B-double flat major...

However, it doesn't teach you how to read music or learn music theory, and it won't teach you piano technique. This is fine for a complete beginner, but as you improve and want to play harder and harder pieces, technique becomes very important. The courses included, while great for beginners and intermediate players, won't teach you advanced music theory. If you're looking for this, to play very advanced classical music, something else might suit you better. However, for most people, Flowkey is more than adequate, and will help them learn to play pieces much quicker than learning sheet music. Learning Some Music Flowkey's interface is really easy and intuitive to use. Once you've gone through the setup, it's easy to start learning pieces. Simply search for whatever piece you want to play in the search box. For this one, I chose the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I can select whichever movement I want, and it'll load up the Flowkey player. I can now play along with this piece until I've perfected it, change the tempo, or even change the learning mode so that the player waits for me to play the right notes before continuing. If there's a section I'm stuck on, and want to keep practicing until I can get it right, I can select the particular section very easily. Flowkey will then play this section over and over again until I decide I'm happy to continue learning something else. I can even change the tempo, and ask Flowkey to wait for me to play the right notes. To see a video demonstration of how this works, check out the video below.
