Freano is a piano teacher in your pocket for beginners. Learn piano step by step, read real sheet music, play songs you already know, and build skills with sight reading, rhythm and ear training — on the touch keyboard, a MIDI keyboard or your acoustic piano. • See your practice history (14 days, streak, stars, best scores), skip known stages with a quick test, get review tips. • Piano, e-piano, organ, synth pad, sustain, 1–4 octaves, two key rows, and MIDI recording. • The mic now hears your acoustic piano better – right octaves, faster response, every repeated key counts. On-device. • A composition notebook — write your own melody on the staff, hear it and share it as MIDI. The chord dictionary now names any chord you hold. New in 1.9.0: Every lesson now opens with a short explanation card and ends with a quick 3-question check and a 1–3 star score. There are new trainers for sheet music reading (treble, bass, and sharps) and rhythm, where you tap along after a count-in. You can also train your ear on intervals and chords. We've added a chord and scale dictionary in all 12 keys, and sharps are now drawn right on the staff. You can also show note names as Do Re Mi. Happy practicing!
