Read full description

Piano Code turns sheet music into an interactive practice studio. Browse a growing library of tunes, hear them played back, and learn them note by note on a built-in 88-key keyboard. KEY FEATURES • MIDI Playback — Tap any tune to hear it played from its score. The staff itself acts as the progress indicator, so you always know exactly where you are in the piece. • Virtual Keyboard Follow-Along Training — A full 88-key piano is built right in. Notes light up on both the staff and the keyboard to guide your hands: upcoming notes in purple, correct hits in green, mistakes flash red. Play along with mouse, touch, or keyboard input. • Track Your Progress — Time your practice sessions and log every tune you work on. Your training records sync to your account so you can pick up right where you left off. Whether you're starting from scratch or polishing a favorite piece, Piano Code helps you read, hear, and play — one note at a time.

Learn Your Keys does one thing—help you master keys and scales! When you started learning to play your instrument you probably played notes in C Major, the simplest scale using the white keys on a piano. Now you’re ready to learn about the other keys, like D Major and F# minor. This app helps you remember the notes in a key, where they appear on a staff (with the appropriate sharp or flat accidental) and what piano keys are used. Tap a note to see where it’s played on a piano. Or tap a piano key to see where the note appears on the staff. You will get used to hearing it so you’ll recognize it in the future. And as you start to learn your keys and scales you can see the actual note names on the staff, not just musical notation.
