Piano Apps

My adult student showed me an app on an iphone that makes her practise her note-reading speeds. I thought that was pretty handy so I started mass downloading piano related free apps. Easy way to search is itunes > app store > power search > piano

Here is a quick rundown of which to keep and which to trash.

Amazing Piano Free: Interesting but useless in real-life practice.

Any Sound Piano: Just 14 keys. I have no idea what it is for.

Burp Piano: Don't bother.

Drum Piano: Umm... don't bother again.

Farm Piano: D.B (Don't Bother).

Virtuoso Piano Free: This is more like it for fiddling around with, but with a range of only an octave per page, it is hard to play anything.

Let em play lite: Again, D.B

Meow Piano: D.B (Why did I dld this?)

Mini Piano: Again, just 8 keys. D.B

Musician's Practice Journal Free: Interesting, keeps track of practice time and you can record the songs needed to be practised, complete with BPM. The paid version might have more stuff packed in.

Piano Music Reading Free: This is fun, goal of game is to name all the notes in the set time. Many of them are ledger notes. Good stuff for an app.

Pocket Piano Song Universe Lite: Interesting, though a pain to play the songs.




Conclusion: Pianos aren't meant to be put in an iphone, though some apps are useful in the very least for students. Musician's Practice Journal and Piano Music Reading are particularly note-worthy.
