Learn to play songs on a piano in a fast and easy way. I’ve created this app to learn piano myself (yes, I don't know how to play it). Now I can play a few songs and it feels great. All you have to do is place your device in front of you and play the chords on the screen.  -SEQUENCES. In this section you can the most popular chords sequences used in modern songs. Choose any sequence you like and play it on your piano. That would be a good way to train your skills. You can choose a sequence and put your lyrics on it and thus compose a new song. The stars in the SEQUENCES section show the difficulty level. Alternative way: find the chords for the song you like on the internet, go to "CHORDS" section of the app and play the song. By the way, you can use websites with guitar chords - they are the same as for piano. -CHORDS. There is also a list of all main chords with 3 different ways of how you can play it. For the songs in this app I picked the most comfortable way of playing for beginners -THEORY. Explanation of basic music theory in 5 minutes -Offline work. There are no in-app purchases. All songs are available at once. The app works offline
