Learning Piano

I thought learning piano would be hard but with Pocoโ€™aโ€™Poco it came out very rewarding in the end. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn piano.

What is a โ€œharmonic fourthโ€??

Fourths and fifths are PERFECT.

Was looking for major and minor intervals. Harmonic and melodic are very confusing.

Excellent

As a music teacher this is my most used app. So useful for learning the basics in a fun way.

Inaccurate, do not purchase!!

Your app is not accurate. Stage 1 so far has incorrectly made A as C. There may be more inaccuracies. I want my money back!

Excellent fun to play and teaches you to read music quickly well worth the money

Handy

I have had this app for about 3 years or so now. I enjoy resetting the score to see if I can beat my own score every now and then and my boyfriend likes to play with the app too. Very handy to not have to carry flash cards around and to just have this convenient app on the cell phone to practice anytime and anywhere. I like having the app for reference of music theory as I need the practice. So much more convenient than carrying a work book around and it provides immediate feedback which even the music teachers don't do.

Very good piano flash card app.

Nice interface and good flexibility with progress tracking.

Notes are wrong

Fix the notes please! The other 3 options have correct information, but apparently a G is a B and a lower G is an A... Disappointing....

Great app. Does it all.

Perfect app to brush up on all your reading skills, especially if you've bin away from your music for quite some time. Also, great for a beginner just learning. Great if all music teachers suggested this app for their students. Five stars ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ. Jim.

Disappointed

I bought this app to learn my notes, but was very surprised to see it doesn't teach you anything. It just quizzes you, so you must have previous knowledge of music notes. Sorry I bought it
:(

Not good

Poor interface.. Many better products available

Great app

This app has really improved my sight reading!

โค๏ธ this app ๐Ÿ‘

It has helped me to memorise notes etc. Yes, I do agree it is great for beginners and intermediate skill. I love the way you can monitor your results so you know where your weaknesses are and concentrate more on them. I also like that you hear your notes too. That helps to put things into perspective too. Keep up the good work ๐Ÿ˜„ and thank you for making learning fun ๐Ÿ’•

Jacqui

Do far this seems to be an app that will assist me in getting theory! Will rate again when class is over in May 2014.

Incorrect notes

I just purchased this app and it is all wrong in stage 1. It states that A is a G and C is a E note etc. I have not gone any further because if these two are wrong then the app is dysfunctional ! Clearly a VERY POORLY WRITTEN APP!

Good for review/memorization recall speed but flaw/bug for people who care about scores

Good overall for the 4 topics it covers. Bug/flaw is that there are only 4 choices and a student (my child) can see if each answer is right or wrong by pressing a choice and sliding their finger off the button. Each response button lights up with red (wrong) or green (right) color when pressed but app doesn't register your response if you then slide your finger off the button. Fix this and add more choices than just 4 for more stars in rating.

Must have for learning music!

This is a fantastic app well worth the price! My 5 & 7 year old each use this to practice their notes in-between weekly piano lessons. It is simple to get started, and the app has plenty of room to grow well into college music theory! There are a few updates I would like to see applied, but they would only be icing on the cake. Well done!

Less than stellar, at best!

Not impressed at all. How about first teaching the notes before you quiz the poor students. Sort of ridiculous. Meanwhile the percentages are wrong. Stage 2, treble clef, missed none but was given an 81% rating. Again ridiculous. Uninstalling.

Discouraging

The app is ok but it jumps between the treble and bass this interrupts the learning as it is not instinctive as the R hand normally does the treble and the L hand does the bass you do learn but I feel it is taking 3 to 4 times longer than if it separately did the RH and the LH and then mixed it in the very advanced if at all. I don't think it is really required to mix them it . I find it annoying
