A new application called Simply Piano, Developed by Israeli company JoyTunes, claims it can teach you how to play the classic instrument even if you don’t know the difference between do and mi. At the moment, it’s only available for iPhone users but placing the phone on a piano or organ is all you need to do to start.

The app is similar to the language-learning app Duolingo, in that it teaches you stage by stage. After a few lessons, you should be able to play a few simple tunes. One of JoyTunes’s founders, Yigal Kaminka, told Ynet, “The application teaches you from stage one. It has videos that explain where to put your hand, how to sit – the very basics. It’s like going to a music teacher. The app teaches you how to plat simple songs as well as advanced ones. It teaches you how to play more complex songs, such as Imagine by John Lennon. What we bring is free piano lessons in every home.”

What we bring is free piano lessons in every home.” JoyTunes mentions that Simply Piano’s target audience is people aged 18-50, including those with no prior experience. Prior applications might have only supported the iPad, but not every iPhone can be used, with the app automatically discerning what kind of instrument you’re playing. JoyTunes’s Tel Aviv offices have an appropriately musical feel, with a recording studio, a piano, keyboard, and even a DJ table. It was founded by Yuval Kaminka, Roey Izkovsky, and Yigal Kaminka.

How much does Simply Piano app cost UK?

If you choose an annual plan then Simply Piano costs £4.99 per month - the cheapest of the three.

In this day and age, you can find an app for just about anything. Cooking, exercise, learning a language, brain-training, origami, lucid dreaming, just name an activity and there will be an app to go along with it. Learning an instrument is no exception to this, so I have decided to find out whether you can learn to play the piano using an app. Over the past month, I have been using the three most popular music tutor apps currently on the App Store/Google Play Store. They all feature interactive lessons, note-recognition and come with both free and paid content. I have tested all of the apps on a Samsung Galaxy S8, without using any headphones or microphones. I have reviewed each app in three categories, which are: Piano Basics: how well the app teaches the fundamentals of piano playing, such as finding your way around the piano, reading musical notation and playing rhythmically. Paid Features: the overall value for money you get from the app, taking into account the quality of the app, the amount of free content and the price of a subscription.
