Unfortunately, the 2.8 update has made daily practice difficult enough that I felt I should share some specific feedback. A few issues stand out on iPad: – In portrait orientation, the bar view jumps and flickers, and selecting bars through the UI is nearly impossible. – Lesson 88 ("Lazin' Around") used to display 23 bars; it now shows only 11, and repeats no longer seem to be accounted for. This makes it hard to drill into the specific subsections I want to practice. – In loop mode, the option to loop with breaks appears to have been removed. When practicing a passage that doesn't begin and end on the same hand position, that pause was essential for repositioning. Without it, I either wait through a full repetition or hit restart and lose my count. I'd love to keep using the app, and I'd gladly update this review to 5 stars if these issues were addressed in a future update. Thanks for considering the feedback. ### 5/5 — Recommended for older adults *2026-01-27, version 2.7.11* I recently retired and the number one thing on my bucket list was to learn to play the piano. I spent an enormous amount of time researching different methods and apps and kept coming back to Musiah so I signed up and am so happy that I did. I find the app is easy to work with especially when I get stuck in certain areas, the games and practice sections provide the help needed to improve and move on. I’m amazed about how these exercises improved my playing. With this app I feel like I am learning to play the piano, whereas with other apps, they seem to concentrate on just learning to play a song, which is not what I want I also am quite pleased with customer service. They are responsive, polite and professional. It’s not like signing up to a service never again to have human contact with them. Even the inventor has responded to my help requests I would recommend this app to anyone that is serious about learning how to play the piano ### 5/5 — A really great app to learn piano properly *2026-01-06, version 2.7.11* Musiah is an absolutely fantastic app for anyone who wants to learn to play the piano properly. I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s been a great way to learn at my own pace. I really like how it teaches both the practical playing and the music theory behind it. The instant feedback on my playing has been especially helpful — it shows where I’ve slipped up and how to fix it. There are also lots of useful practice tools built in, like note‑reading exercises, quizzes, and memory games. I’ve found these surprisingly fun and they’ve helped me improve more consistently. There’s also a story‑based section designed for kids, which I think my young grandchildren will enjoy when they’re old enough to try it. It looks like a nice way to make learning feel more like an adventure. I’m grateful to have found Musiah. It’s become an ideal way for me to learn and practise the piano anytime. It feels a bit like having a piano teacher beside you — just a lot more relaxing ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2025-07-01, version 2.7.11* This app is terrible! You have to pay straight away, and I never got to figure out what the password was!😾🤮🙀😡 ### 5/5 — The help I need *2025-02-20, version 2.7.11* The support has been timely, helpful and polite while providing important tips. I have always enjoyed listening to music, but never played an instrument. While my former piano instructor was diligent, I was never going to learn to play. Musiah has been able to help me by providing immediate feedback and to a way to gradually move from untimed practice promoting physical memory to preparing for my audition. More than once, I thought I would never learn to play the faster tunes, but I did it. My learning to play at my age has been challenging, but Musiah sticks by me along the way even when I have not been a good student. The cost is less than tuning my hybrid piano and even less now with the new billing options. Musiah, my brain thanks you. ### 5/5 — This is the only app that truly teaches piano *2025-02-05, version 2.7.11* Musiah is a piano teaching amazing app which makes use of artificial intelligence for teaching the student while monitoring their progress. I loaded Musiah app on my iPad and connected the iPad with my digital piano. The app not only shows to me what notes to play but is able to find the slightest mistake I play and correct me. This functionality is nowhere else to be found. Congratulations to Brendan for figuring out and implementing all these. Musiah is by far the best piano learning software in the market today. But people seems to be unaware of what this software can do! 5 stars because there are no 6. ### 5/5 — Musiah is Incredible! *2025-01-15, version 2.7.11* Plain and simple, Brendan Hogan and the Musiah Team have cracked the code on how to teach anyone (who really wants to learn) how to play the piano. I have tried books, multiple computer programs, even real-people teachers to learn piano, and although I learned a lot from all of them, after a period of time my motivation fizzled out and I stopped. When my son showed me what A.I. could do, I asked him to see if there were any A.I. piano programs. He checked and Musiah was mentioned. The program is incredible! Musiah is the best kept secret in the App Store and should be as well known as many other (inferior, IMHO) programs that pop up when you type in piano instruction. I wrote above that it can teach anyone who REALLY wants to learn how to play piano because Musiah is challenging, but the familiar structure of each lesson, very specific feedback on performance, practice area, metronome, and backing tracks all combine to create a “secret sauce” that keeps me motivated and coming back day after day to learn a little more. No other program comes close to Musiah in somehow intuiting just what is needed in any given moment. That’s clearly the A.I. part. Brendan even laughs (kindly and knowingly) when I totally screw up an audition, which causes me to laugh rather than criticize myself. Musiah is masterfully constructed and worth every penny of its very reasonable subscription price. Going through Musiah, I am leaning how to play piano, learning how to be patient with myself, learning how to be persistent, and learning I can accomplish more than I thought possible. Thank you Brendan. You and Musiah have truly made a huge contribution to my life. Jerry ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2025-01-11, version 2.7.11* I am surprised there are so few ratings, this app is a real gem! The thought and care that went into it is incredible. Unlike any other app, this app gives actual piano lessons, taking the student through a piano learning curriculum with MusicTheory and complete piano pieces at varying levels of difficulty so that students of all backgrounds can benefit. There is also a growing library of pieces outside of the lessons. Regardless of other applications that students may be using, this app has a place, because it gives detailed feedback on how well you play and incentivizes you to repeat things until they are played well. It has features that no other app has in terms of giving feedback on your accuracy of playing noes, timing, rhythm and note duration. The visual feedback is particularly cool and very helpful for recognizing whether you are playing correctly or not as you play. Although the app is most useful for young students learning piano, I feel it is also for proficient players given the library of pieces outside the lessons and the very useful feedback on my playing. The app is constructed to be very attractive to younger audiences. It also has a mode for adults which I find fine, and I am fine ignoring being called “earthling.” The app truly uses AI technology by adjusting how it teaches you based on how well you are doing. It is like a real piano class with personal feedback and instruction by a teacher, as well as a practice area and then an audition, which gives you a score based on how well you play through the piece. Most helpful is that at the conclusion of each level you are asked to audition three random pieces from the level of the course that you have completed. It’s a simulation of an actual recital which you must complete well enough to pass to advance to the next level. Doing this I feel like I’m actually playing before a live audience, which is extremely helpful. Finally, I must commend the team who created this app, particularly the inventor, who provides very timely personal support for any technical issues. The inventor is a very experienced piano teacher, and this shows when using the app. It is truly high-quality and though more expensive than other piano apps it is worth the cost, and much more convenient and less expensive than in-person piano lessons (which it is not intended to replace). I plan on using this to become proficient enough to become worth taking the more expensive lessons. I was so impressed with this app that I purchased three years of the lessons. ### 5/5 — The best piano teaching app *2024-10-25, version 2.7.11* Musiah is the best piano app that is available and not expensive at all You do not have to leave your home and pay hundreds in private tuition This piano app is incredible and if you are wanting to learn to play the piano, this is the app you need I have tried other apps but Musiah is by far the best I absolute love this piano app and I will never stop, I am hooked I actually finished level 1 and I received a beautiful certificate and I was very proud of myself for that achievement ### 5/5 — Seriously the best game that rapidly teaches you how to play piano *2024-06-18, version 2.7.11* The title says it all. We need more Musiah! ## Frequently asked questions about Musiah ### What is Musiah? Musiah is an AI-powered piano teacher that offers comprehensive real piano lessons.
