MasterPiano vs Deep Cuts

MasterPiano teaches you to read and play sheet music at the piano, with real-time feedback on every note. Connect a MIDI keyboard over USB or Bluetooth, or let MasterPiano listen to your acoustic piano through the microphone. It follows the score as you play and shows right away which notes you hit, which you missed, and how your timing compares to the music. SIGHT-READING THAT GROWS WITH YOU Read a new piece, get a score, and your level moves up or down with every run. Levels run from your very first notes to advanced repertoire, based on the ABRSM sight-reading grades. A LIBRARY OF PIECES Classical favourites and original pieces across every level. Practise in Wait mode, where the music waits for the right note, or Play along with the metronome and get scored on accuracy, rhythm and tempo. A DAILY PLAN The Today tab tells you what to practise next. Follow lessons on your Path, warm up with scales, and sharpen note reading, rhythm, intervals and your ear with short games. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Scores for every run, a map of the bars that need work, your best results, streaks and practice time. Free accounts can practise for 10 minutes a day. MasterPiano Premium removes the daily limit. SUBSCRIPTION MasterPiano Premium is available as a monthly or annual subscription; the annual plan can include a free trial.

Deep Cuts Where Every Stream Pays Artists Fairly Most streaming platforms pay artists fractions of a penny per stream, pooling all subscription revenue together and dividing it among the biggest names in music. Independent artists — the ones pouring their hearts into every track — are left fighting over scraps or no money at all. Deep Cuts was built to change that. The Fairest Payout in Music Streaming. Deep Cuts operates on a simple fair-pay model: 80% of every subscriber's weekly fee goes directly to the artists they actually listen to. Not into a giant pool. Not divided by an algorithm that favours major labels. Your money follows your ears — proportionally, transparently, every single week. Here's how it works: when you stream on Deep Cuts, every ten seconds of listening time is tracked. At the end of each weekly cycle, your CA$2.80 subscription is split among the artists you played, weighted by exactly how long you listened to each one. If you spent half your week listening to a local indie band, that band receives half of your artist share. It's that simple. For artists, this means the payout per listener is dramatically higher than any other platform. On traditional streaming services, an independent artist might earn CA$0.003 per stream — meaning they need hundreds of thousands of plays just to cover basic costs. On Deep Cuts, a single dedicated listener can contribute meaningfully to an artist's income every week. Multiply that across a growing community of music lovers who care about where their money goes, and the difference is transformative. Built for Independent Artists Deep Cuts isn't just a streaming app — it's a complete toolkit for independent musicians. Artists can upload and manage their entire catalogue, designate essential tracks, organize albums, and set scheduled releases. Detailed analytics show exactly who's listening, from which cities, and how listening trends change week over week. Artists can see their estimated weekly earnings, track unique listener counts, and understand their audience. When artists are ready to get paid, Stripe Connect integration makes payouts seamless. Verified artists receive their earnings directly — no middlemen, no minimum thresholds, no waiting months for statements. Every Monday, they are paid. Built for Listeners Who Care As a listener, Deep Cuts gives you something no other platform does: a clear, visual breakdown of exactly where your subscription goes.
