Thanks for watching and reading:)
Started on Playground Sessions. Switched to Piano Marvel. Why. Because -- no way around it, you (a) need to know how to sight read, and sight read well. And (b) you make slow/steady progress with a METHOD. Yes. You have to play Twinkle, Twinke before you tackle that rock song or classical piece. Piano Marvel is HONEST in its approach. It doesn't dangle a bunch of popular songs in front of you that you're not ready for. There is a reason that MUSIC TEACHERS USE PIANO MARVEL and not the others. True -- it doesn't have loads of pop songs. That's not their focus. Use this program to sight read, practice every day, after a couple years you'll be able to read whatever sheet music and play whatever you want. There are no shortcuts to learning piano and you have to crawl before you can walk and play music that his congruent to your skill level.
This is THE comparison review. Unbelievably helpful, thank you so much!
Thank u, I'm glad it was helpful:)
Amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. You are correct.
honestly your channel really deserves more views and subscribers... such a detail and well explain review of each products which makes me easier to decide which is best for me to start learning piano lessons... really appreciate you come up this effort in putting this up... I hope your next video would be guitar lesson app..
Thank you very much, I'm glad my videos helped you to decide which piano lessons can be the best for you:)
Proper review finally. Wish it had more views, as most reviews are based on quick affiliate sale.
Thank you very much Andrew. I try to review only products that I know and use. Stay tuned!
@@bestmusiccourses4815 Welcome champ. Best regards.
If anyone is interested in playing piano the greatest success that ive had was by using the Turbo Piano Secret (just google it) without a doubt the no.1 idea that I've tried.
Just a quick "note": Playground Sessions doesn't fully support acoustic piano. Its complete functionality is only available on pianos with a USB or Midi interface.
If you can afford an acoustic piano, you can afford a piano teacher. If you have a Fazioli piano, you can afford a live-in piano teacher.
@@paullebon323I think the point here is that the video says Playground Sessions supports acoustic pianos, and this guy is saying it does not
I have searched and watched many reviews of these apps. I am an adult beginner who is looking for the most bang for my buck while looking to enjoy playing. This review is by far the most comprehensive comparison and breakdown of important components that I have been looking at. Thank you
Thank you very much Martin, I'm glad to hear this:)
Which one did you end up using? If not which one would you use?
This is one of the best software comparison videos I've ever seen. Covers a lot of information, asks and answers useful questions, and yet is somehow very concise. Thanks so much for making it!
Suscribed, I watched many videos reviewing these tools, this is the best by far, clear and to the point, hope your channel grow fast dude, cheers!
You made my day Miguel:) Thank you very much!
Playground Sessions is amazing! I just picked the piano back up after 25 years of not playing. In a few short and fun hours I was back up to intermediate level, and imagine in a month or so I'll be nearly back to where I was! I especially like how Playground Sessions walks you through new songs bite by bite.
Joshua, I'm glad you like it! Yes, Playground Session is very well made, arrangements are great as well as interactive functions. Enjoy!
Is Playground Sessions good for sight reading practice? I mean, are there plenty of new exercises to see at various difficulty levels so you're not looking at the same exercises over and over? Thank you.
@@Abby-zi4xiGo for Piano Marvel. Best app by miles, for sight read. Theres a reason why its used by music teachers 😊
Hey, right now I'm 14 years old, my parents used to send me to piano classes when I was in 4th grade, I didn't really enjoy any kind of instruments at that time, to be honest, I wasn't interested in music at all. And we also stayed in China, which didn't really last long. So I'm currently trying to find methods to learn piano :)
Same...
one of the best review i have seen. Absolutely no Bullsh!t. Just Straight to the point and answers all the questions i have. AMAZING JOB!!! Keep up the wonderful work.
Thank u very much Andy!
Simply piano has a great range of songs of all types in its "Play Beta" section, and most songs have three arrangements - beginner, intermediate and pre-advanced. Hence for someone like me whose main goal is to learn to easily sight read by reading new music everyday - the old 'read a stack of hymn books" idea - it has a huge range of music of all types to keep playing. This method is working well for me, and I can now read the intermediate songs at first sight to a tempo where they give me a lot of joy and motivation to keep learning. When I can do the same with their pre-advanced songs, maybe a year or two more, I might look around, but another key thing with these programs for me is also how good the arrangements are. There are some very nice arrangements in Simply Piano. I also feel the program takes advantage of the modern ways of learning piano, and makes it fun for everybody, not a just for a minority of purists who want you to learn it just the dull boring traditional way they did!
Great review and appreciate the matrix summaries on sound quality, content and pricing models. Very helpful thanks!
I'm glad it was useful:)
Thank you for the great review. I agree that private lessons are the best and thank you for mentioning that. I started with private lessons and now want to cut back on private and start learning more with an app. Your review definitely helped me make a decision on which app to use. Very clear review. I appreciate it
Thanks Isabel, for your comment! I am very glad that the review helped you to make your decision. I wish you good luck:)
Thanks a lot:)
Excellent comparison video. I’ve used Simply Piano for nearly a year but am switching to Piano Marvel & book learning for a more formal learning experience. Simply Piano is fun and easy to use but probably glosses over important elements. I have a 3 month trial with skoove through my new Roland fp10 but I don’t see the point in using it
Thanks for your comment! I haven't used Simply piano yet, so I can't compare. All the mentioned applications are quality products, but I rather consider them as a supplement to music education. Alternatively, try online adult piano courses here: bit.ly/35AfPp1
Unlike piano applications, they have a clearer and more logical structure of lessons.
So helpful!! All of the details really helped me. I had downloaded all of these apps but with your notes, it was easy to see all the differences and pick one for now ;)
Thanks so much; since December 2022 I’ve been trying out several apps (in fact 4 of the ones you reviewed here plus several others with different functionality (chords, sight-reading, ear training) and by the 1st of January I didn’t know where the h… I was. I thought the best way would be to make tables of the functionality vs pricing - what a job! But, lo and behold! I stumbled upon your video - you did it all for me, plus your own personal feeling about each one - sublime!
You might wanna timestamp this video, makes navigation easier. Thanks, very informative!
Such helpful information! I slowed down the speech setting and was able to understand every word. Your English is very good.
Thank you Caren:) I think my accent is kind of weird but I hope people can understand everything what Im saying. Have a nice day!
Wow. I hope you make a business out of reviewing other technology. Your research, points and conclusions were excellent. Consumer Reports should offer you a job. Very well done. Thanks for your time
Thank's a lot:)
Thank you, you explain it well. i keep on struggling. you deserve more subscriber man. :)
Shaina, thank's a lot:)
Thank you very much for this comprehensive comparison. I found it very helpful. I will give Playground Sessions a try!
Thank's Steven and enjoy learning and playing with PS:)
Very helpful, understandable with solid information. Very cool, thanks a lot for this video!
Amazing channel and review work, this is insanely helpful. Thank you VERY much
Waw, thank's a lot, Kevin:)
very informative video...you deserve thousand of subscribers...this is so far the best video on this topic; thank you for the time and effort you put in this video to make a decision for someone like me so easy
Thank you, Amir, very much:) I also hope that number of my subscribers will arise:) Have a nice day!
Thank you so much for your amazing piano app review video. We have chosen our app - piano marvel.
We’re going to be super pianists! Yay marvel!
You are welcome and good luck:)
It's the best comparison video on piano software ever. Thank you!
I got my piano in my good days, been so long now i want to learn (again) but can barely afford the subscription charges 😢
So much helpful and comprehensive! Thank you very much!
Amazing info, thanks, the "print" the material and "Life time "result the most importan factor flowkey vs Playground, then i choice Playground.
Wooow... This video is everything... Thank you
You are welcome:)
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
You are welcome:)
Good review…but like many others I find neglects to talk about multiple accounts. Iow the compatibility, ease of use, individualized progress tracking, and pricing for families with multiple children. Also strange that SimplyPiano didn’t make the list…as it is so often compared against the others in other reviews.
What would you recommend for a guitar player that knows basic theory so he knows how to build scales arpeggios and chords but lacks understanding on piano technique....for example which fingers to use,when to use left hand when to use right, fingerings for playing scales and things of that nature....
Very good and humble review. Thank you so much.
Great analysis. I really want to learn jazz and improve my improvisation, but my finances are too tight for a teacher right now. Is there an app that'd best help me in that regard?
Great review and very well put together video. I miss the days of being able to just buy a program without an annual "money grab" every year.
Your information is very helpful.
Thank you...
You are welcome:)
Great Video 🎥 Mr Basho! I Learnt Heaps💡🧠!
MPGA (Make 🇬🇧 Piano 🇺🇸 Great 🇦🇫 Again 🇫🇷!) From New Zealand
This was super helpful, thank you!
thank you this was helpful now i know which i wanna go with
Glad I could help!
You can record on marvel piano, I saw from one of the youtubers
Thank you! Great reviews!
Wow! Amazing review. Good job!
Thank you!:)
Most piano teachers in my area only offer online lessons because of Covid. How important do you think it is to actually be live in-person with teacher in the same room compared with using Zoom type of online connection?
Thank you, John, for a great question! I have a video dedicated to this topic: czcams.com/video/0k2xcL9ns6U/video.html I believe that in-person lesson are always the best option in case the teacher is skilled and able to motivate you. Learning music is not only practicing and playing correct notes, but also about socialization, motivation, talking about music and so on. In terms of correct piano technique, and correct interpretation, during a in-person lesson, the teacher can clearly see, hear and interact with you and your playing. Anyway, it doesn't mean that Zoom and online lessons are ineffective or bad. Everybody is somehow stuck and limited now during these corona times, so I believe we should try to do our best and do what is possible and safe. So online lessons can be stil a good option. But maybe this is also a proper time to focus more on listening to more music, analyze how the music work and practice piano technique.
Thanks so much for this review!
You are welcome!
Perfect review! Great job!
Thanks!
Fantastic review! Thank you
Thank u:)
Absolutely superb! Thank you.
Thank you so much, this is really helpful.
You are welcome Johannes:)
Which piano learning app is best for Latin? I want to learn to play salsa, cha cha cha, merengue & tango.
Hi there, you can find some latin music on Flowkey, but if you want to focus on this style, check out Eddie Palmieri Salsa Jams App: www.palmierimusic.com, or Hear And Play course: hearandplay.infusionsoft.com/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=410 Another option is Open Studio Jazz Brazilian course: www.openstudiojazz.com/brazilian-jazz-piano...
@@bestmusiccourses4815 Awesome, thank you!!
Please make an update with current state + add offline (one time purchase) options.
Skoove is on android now.
You did a really good job with this.
Thank you very much!:)
I am trying to do a 7 day free trial for playground session. I can't find it anywhere. please help ! The link you posted just takes to home page.
Yes, you can click here: www.playgroundsessions.com/free-trial-step-2?ari=gs
Is it possible in any of these apps to change from english music encryption (A,B,C,D,E,F,G) to spanish/italian music encryption (Do,Re,Mi,Fa,Sol,La,Si)?
Great review!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! The most comprehensive comparison review of piano learning apps that I've found 👍
You are welcome Danny:)
I am a beginner in piano this is the best review
Thank you very much!
What do you think about simply piano?
Hi there! Well, I didn't try it yet, but I plan it...it seems to be similar to Yousician, but as I said, I need to give a try. Do you have some experiences with Simply piano?
@@bestmusiccourses4815 i dont and ive been getting those simplypiano ads so thats why i asked. Great review btw! It’s the best and most comprehensive i could find on yt!
@@microz0258 Simply Piano is pretty good! I love it but I wanted to try Piano Marvel😂
Hi I need help !! I want to learn piano, but which kind of keyboard do I need to properly use this playground sessions or any other app. Like if its any specific function or thing that needs to connect or play, any recommendations. Thanks y'all !!!
Devices requirement very use full information thanq so much
Thanks this helped me a lot
You are welcome!
fam im ur 1000th subscriber lol
Thank you for this overview! I use Simply Piano but will look into others as well.
Great! Many of these apps have free trials or free account with limited content, so you can try them and then choose the best for you.
Great review, thanks, this helped.
Glad to hear it!
VERY GOOD VIDEO MY MAN!
Thank u buddy:)
Zdravím Václave, podporuje nějaká z aplikací češtinu? Případně víte o nějaké takové?
Nevím jestli jsem koukal správně, ale obávám se, že všude vládne pouze angličtina.
A s tou bych musel asistovat já :-)
Ahoj Karol,
Flowkey a Skoove maju myslim 7 jazykovych moznosti, ale cestina medzi nimi nie je. Pokial viem tak cestinu nepodporuje ziadna z aplikacii s lekciami piana:( Kazdopadne na ich pouzivanie nepotrebujes nejak vymakanu anglictinu, stacia zaklady si myslim.
@@bestmusiccourses4815 diky za reakci, myslel jsem si to. V tom pripade se asi budeme drzet zebricku a vyzkousime co bude vyhovovat 🙂
Awesome review
Thanks a lot:)
What is the best you can recommend to adults apps
Which of these Apps can be used on a PC?
There are no practice basic etudes in Piano marvel to teach the cleff or the notes in order to begin reading. It simply jumps from the song of C and E (which are just c and e key practice) straight to playing songs. It is useless for beginners. Yousician has perfect game interface which is what I was searching for to learn fingering practice along with sight reading learning; but it too has just a couple of basic 2 key exercise, nothing more. I am thinking these apps are useless as they dont give the basic thing needed for piano, that is the game like interface with many many basic practice etudes that develops technique.
Do you have any other recommendations?
Are u kidding me? Piano Marvel is by miles the best solution to learn without a teacher. It has lots and lots of sight reading exercises. Goes thru all the basics, intermidiate, pro. The app is used by piano teachers in class 😂 i really dont get your point
My dream is a pianist 😩🤚🏻💙
Which app is the best for learning chords?
Hi Peter! Well, I think all these apps will teach you to play and understand chords in some context. I would say, the most "chord-style" arrangement has Skoove (review: czcams.com/video/FVQVza55EYU/video.html). But there are other apps I didn't mention in this video: Piano Chord, Scale, Progression Companion (Android) and Piano chords and scales (iOs). These are focused on playing chords.
@@bestmusiccourses4815 Thanks for a fast and great answer!
They dont have a price localization. İn order to we dont buy any subscription
For yamah piano u can get 3 month free for floweky
I used an android app by datapluscode to learn piano chords and circle of 5ths. Pretty good for on thr go learning, but no midi support.
Try to support local business and use apps as an aid.
Thanks
You are welcome:)
Excellent
Thank you
You are welcome:)
Which will work with akai mpk mini 🤔
Hi Ravi, well, I would say no course or piano app is good for Akai mpk mini. This master keyboard has only 2 octaves (25 small keys). You won't be able to play most of repertoire on these keys. I can recommend some digital piano with minimally 73 keys (88 is better) and with hammer mechanism (the touch is similar like classical piano) if you want to learn to play keyboard. There are tons of them in different price categories. Some of these apps also work with an acoustic piano.
🤣
Damn, he punked Simply Piano. 🤣😂😁
any review on pianote?
Well, yes I would like to make pianote review in near future:)
yeah i can't spend $30-$40 for half an hour lesson man
Got Skoove free for three months free with my new Roland fp10, yay!
Skoove not compatible with my android....booo!
Do they cost money
Hello! You can choose between free account with limited access to lessons and songs and paid membership that opens all content.
