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.

Piano Every Day is Roland’s newest app for learning piano, and it features learning tools for students of all ages, experienced players, and those teaching themselves to play. Available on iOS and Android, it's compatible with the Roland LX700 and HP700 series of pianos. If you use it with these models, you’ll receive the added benefit of on-board songs to learn. Like Roland Piano Partner 2, it also comes with a recording and tracking capability so you can stay updated on your progress. An exciting benefit of the app is it connects to Sheet Music Direct; the world’s largest collection of online sheet music. You can browse a huge selection of classical and pop music songs and view the music scores that go with each one.

Skoove

Skoove is one of the best ways to learn piano online and comes with a great app and online piano lessons. There is a big focus on learning to play songs. Skoove also has a great selection of popular songs to learn including songs by Coldplay, Adele, Ed Sheeran etc. The Skoove app is pretty clever too. It analyzes your playing and gives you useful feedback on what you can do to improve faster. We’re currently partnering with Skoove, to offer three months of free online piano lessons. If you own a Roland piano, or are thinking of buying a piano, you can get unlimited access to hundreds of songs and interactive courses—available anytime on your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Simply Piano

Simply Piano by JoyTunes is an excellent resource for learning piano (beginners to advanced). The lessons are gamified in that you have to complete a section before moving on to the next stage. At the end of each section you get to play what you have just learned with a backing track (band).
