Piano Apprentice App Reviews

This app, above all Scotts lessons are absolutely great! For absolute beginners it injects you with the piano virus instantly. It took me around 10 minutes to play Ode To Joy without any prior instrument experience. I am loving every lesson of it. Top recommendation!

the app is helpful for beginners, but there are only a few songs to learn. iTunes says there are in app purchases for more songs, but I cant find them… anyone knows how to get more songs?

Awesome program, I have a digital piano so I havent used the lighted keyboard. I really like Scotts method of teaching and its great having him around anytime I decide to practice. Very cool.

Wish I could buy more of his work through iTunes

Great for children ( small keys and keyboard), but it needs way more songs and not pay ware like the guitar version. It only has 15 simple songs and no option to get more.

To me it is apparent that the user testing associated with this device was only done by persons either involved in production of the product or musicians. To qualify this; Im an adult, I have a background in New Media and Production and have never had the opportunity to learn music and thought this would be a good method as a beginner. I can deal with the keyboard being a bit small. I can deal with sound only coming out of the idevice you plug in. I cannot silently cope with poor user testing. The interface is perfectly simple and visually appealing, easy to navigate and intuitive but the video functionality is very flawed. You cannot loop any individual section of a video or sheet music, any attempt to skip ahead/fast forward results in the video restarting. It is painful enough that Im considering whether or not to return the product. In an effort to get around the video functionality issues I attempted to take refuge in the sheet music section only to be frustated by the same playback control issues and added logistic gaps. As before you can only play/pause with the addition of being able to change the beats per minute. As the play head walks through the music the keyboard lights up. That sounds good but the gap comes in here as you have no idea (1)what hand positions to take, (2)have no idea whether that note is an A, C, F or D as it flys past you unlabelled in the "beginner" sheet music. Perhaps an optional (toggle on/off) voice over to sing you what note letter youre playing could be helpful for you internalize some actual information. Perhaps an added learning section focused on sight recognition of notes within the staff so that when you visit the sheet music section it can eventually mean something/equate to notes to play. ION has created an awesome tool for learning in this keyboard but rendered it useless as an educating tool with this app. I will only find value in this keyboard purchase if it interfaces with other synth apps my musician significant other uses. In this current version - skip it. ~CKY

I got playback issue too, Plz fix it. Or create a new program that sets the rhyme pause until we type correctly. One more willing, could we add the extra music sheet ourselves

Should be able to fine scroll through video not have to watch from the beginning every time

Please fix the video features to allow to move to any part of the video without starting from the beginning again.

Pretty cool app if youre not really wanting to learn how to play...it would be nice to actually have piano lessons, as in how to play, and not just how to play the selected songs in the app. Hopefully there is an app I can use this keyboard with that will help me learn to play.

楽譜を見ながらピアノが弾けたり、動画のピアノレッスンが見れたり、楽しそうなアプリだと思ったのだが、PIANO LESSONSボタンを押しても、SHEET MUSICボタンを押しても、スクロールボタンしか表示されず、スクロールボタンを押すとアプリが落ちる。。。 どうもIONから発売しているPIANO APPENTICEというキーボードの専用アプリのようだ。

Thanks a lot for good teaching

Simply Great!

Big thanks to creators for this brilliant app!

I would give this -10!! Dumb as hell!!!! Dont waste ur time!

I really like it its good for learning, i dont like to read long reviews so i think its cool. :{)

The app is good, but it has a problem with the speed I wish I could slow down the tempo or the video so I can play the songs for I just dont get it.

I cant understand all these crybaby reviews. Nothing worth doing is easy thats why you need to practice. Their piano lessons to get you familiar with a piano and songs youre familiar with to get you started its not complicated it just takes the effort to get it.

It is so cool I am learning to play the piano my only complaint is that piano guy goes pretty fast other than that it is great keep adding lessons. =^D

This. Is the best app ever I love it I learn so much and know a lot more then I did and your stupid if you think this app is bad
