INTERACTIVE PIANO LEARNING FOR STUDENTS & TEACHERS – ON MOBILE AND DESKTOP Piano eTutor takes a completely new, technology-driven approach to learning piano. It solves the common problems of learning piano in an intuitive, user-friendly way. You don't need to read pages of theory before you start playing. Read a short summary, jump straight into the interactive exercises, and the concepts will quickly make sense. Because the app shows you each musical idea in action, very little explanation is needed. Compared with traditional self-study methods, Piano eTutor gives you two things they don't: INTERACTION and MUSICAL TOOLS. INTERACTION Piano eTutor listens as you play and responds instantly. It checks whether each note is correct in both pitch and timing, then shows you what to play next. You can learn a piece note by note, one hand at a time, then put both hands together and play the whole song at full speed. MUSICAL TOOLS • Playback – Listen to an exercise before you practise to understand its structure, rhythm and note positions. • Tempo control – Set the speed to whatever feels comfortable. Start slowly, then build up gradually. • Metronome – Develop a strong sense of beat and learn to play in time, one of the most important skills in music. • Section selection – Most pieces have easy passages and harder ones. Choose just the sections you want to work on. • Note hints – Struggling to find a note or chord? Turn on hints and the app shows you exactly which keys to play. TWO STANDOUT FEATURES Piano eTutor is built on the sheet music processing technology we've been developing for many years. That technology makes two features possible that you won't find in most piano learning apps: • Import your own sheet music – Want to learn a particular song? Find it on a sheet music sharing site such as musescore.com, download it in MusicXML or MIDI format, and import it into the app. Teachers can create their own exercises in notation software such as MuseScore, export them as MusicXML files and send them to students to import and practise at home. • Transpose to any key – If a song is in a difficult key (for example, one with four sharps), transpose it to an easier key. When you're learning accompaniment, you can also move a song into a key that suits your vocal range. Tip: Use our music notation app, Score Creator, alongside Piano eTutor to get even more out of your learning. MORE THAN SOLO PIANO Piano eTutor teaches piano accompaniment as well as solo playing. FOR MUSIC SCHOOLS Are you a music school or institute? We can help you import your own sheet music into the app, so you can bring this new way of teaching to your students.
