VISION

Piano Social is going to be a game changer in music education

Gregory Moody the owner of Creative Music is the cousin of NEA Jazz Master and 2011 Grammy Award recipient and recording artists JAMES MOODY. 

It's like having a front row seat where you can analyze amazing improvisations and licks done by the pros. 

That's one thing that musicians don't do is share, they want to keep that phat run and chord progression a secret. 

They play it so fast that you can't see it. They don't want you to steal their stuff.
With Piano Social, that's about to change.

OPTIONAL

• iOS MIDI interface or appropriate cable and adapter to connect your device to your MIDI keyboard.
   iRig and Line 6

### 1/5 — Bad implementation of good idea

*2017-08-03, version 1.2*

As others are saying, tempo is off

### 1/5 — Only plays 2 seconds of each midifile

*2017-06-03, version 1.2*

What they don't tell you in the description is that this will only play 2 seconds of a midi file that you import, then it will stop and tell you to pay money to hear more than that. Useless. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Glitchy Playback

*2015-12-24, version 1.0*

This app allows you to import midi files and organize the files in folders. You can play them back (1 to 16 tracks), but the play back is glitchy (Timing is off). You must upgrade ($4.99) for the full playback. Might be worth it if the playback quality was there.
