Hi Jeremy See and thank you for this video! Can you recommend a good device much bigger than a phone that can easily sit on an electric piano music rest to run these apps on? I don't want to try and read music from a small device, and I don't want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more than necessary to have an adequate device to run these apps on. I looked at the thumbnails of your recent videos and didn't see one that seems to compare these types of devices.
and for pc ? any good site or software?

Been very pleased with Simply Piano... been playing since Thanksgiving and I've got about 12 chords down and it impresses me that at almost 40, I can play a little bit. Never going to do it professionally, but yeah I can now walk up to a piano and play a few little jingles. All I wanted :)
Rock on!
Great video and thank you! We've used at home both SP & Flowkey. My daughter started SP at 8, during lockdown, and after 3 years is still studying piano with a teacher (I'd add that after 1 year the app, which was really fun and worth buying it, is not enough just by itself; the teacher later on had to focus on her posture and technique). I had musical background om assical guitar and liked the songs, mostly on Flowkey (SP had much less contents on Android). A quite severe limit I found for not English speaking learners was the language: kids cannot benefit from the courses unless they can understand them.
My two boys started with Simply Piano four years ago and it was amazing to get them started! They’re 9 and 10 years old now and have a teacher! The apps are a great start!
Jeremy, thank you for this video. I am a never played the piano in my life guy that has always had a desire to learn but, never had the time to do so. I just retired and have purchased (not yet taken delivery of) a Kawai CA49 and am now determined to learn. Ironically, it seemed to me to be easier to review and decide on which beginner's piano I wanted to buy than it has been to decide what to use to learn to play. Your video has given me a starting point from which to experiment and decide.
I'm happy my effort helped you. 🙏
Always so informative and unbiased! Thanks so much Jeremy! I’m ready to give these a try!
I've been using Flowkey and the ability to select whichever measure I want to practice is extremely valuable and a big time-saver. If you're having difficulty with a particular measure or set of measures but have no difficulty with the others, it doesn't make sense to have to repeat all the other measures every single time just to practice the section that you have trouble with.
Excellent review! Thank you so much! I have been trying to teach an 8-year-old attached to her device and found concentration wanes. This review allowed me to choose her learning guide (at home with her parents AND with me) based on the way she learns. I also found that I could brush up with the Skoove app if I want to purchase both.
Hi Jeremy,
Great review! Very much enjoyed it! I have a follow-up question for you: Is there any app you can recommend that allows you to choose a song (e.g. Elton John's Daniel) and decide which soundtrack/channel (e.g. lead voice, piano, guitar etc.) you want to perform live on your piano while the song is being played? Thanks so much for a feedback. Best, Sash
thanks for all your help !!! I just bought the p125 today after watching your reviews and now I am testing simply Piano . You got yourself a new subscriber :) I always wanted to play Final Fantasy songs from Nobuo Uematsu
Glad I could help!
Happy new year, I like electric keyboard very much, I learn a lot from your channel, thanks so much.
This video is just amazing. Mind blowing. I didn't thought that there was so much. Anyway I literally didn't thought they were any at all. It's nice to be able to watch this, this morning. I am currently doing a piano course online. But the professor is stuck with let it be by The Beatles. I am full of it. I can't find a way to play it. I can't find the beat. So I prefer to practice what I learn on songs that I listen all the time and that I love. It's so much more enjoyable. Thank you! You are awesome.
Fantastic review. Appreciate the details!
Solid! Thank you Jeremy, I'll give the trials a shot.
Thanks Jeremy, great review! In the future can you do follow up videos for each of the apps at an early intermediate to intermediate level. Also which app has the best sheet music for printing so I can improve my sight reading!
You are always sharing informative videos and they are very impressive
Jeremy delivers once again...great review
really well done. Thanks Jeremy!
Glad you liked it!
Great video ❤. Is there any arranger like app , For example like to play the Yamaha like styles… trigger with intro, fill, ending… ??
Thank you, Jeremy
Thank you for your video. What you think about Chordana play and casio music play ?
Thanks for making this video. I was wondering what apps were good for beginners. This video couldn't have been more timely.👍
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I’m following your videos , all are so informative 🥰😇🤜🏻🤛🏻 can you review Suzuki hp -x3
Thanks for your unbiased review which is really helpful!
I finally bought a Yamaha E373 and it's been so long since I played that my fingers hurt attempting to play the pieces I usually did...really frustrating so I'm gonna restart 😅
Thanks for the video!
HAPPY NEW YEAR MR SEE, TNX FOR YOUR REVIEWS
Happy new year!
If Flowkey and Simply Piano had a baby it would be the perfect learning app.
what are the advantages of each?
That's so true
Where did simply piano get a baby??
The accompaniment is so much fun on simply piano.
Flowkey is far better technically/learning advice and traditional strategies, we’re only a few weeks in. But flowkey doesn’t give the same dopamine achievement hits that everyone is addicted to. Or giggles. I’m talking about for my 12 yr old.
Thank you so much! Exactly the video I needed. 😊
Are you currently using one of these? Do recommend?
Hi Jeremy, which app teaches on reading pedal notation and demonstrates how to use the pedal? Thanks
I need an app really for beginners.
An app that startels teaching what is a cord a minor or a major cord, an octave, etc.
An app that starts with the terminology of musical instruments execution.
That's really would be an app for beginners.
Brother, please do review for yamaha psr-E473 vs casio ct-X9000. I have more confusion.
Brother u missed Musescore, thank you for the video, that was great.
Hi Jeremy, truly appreciate your video! Which one would u recommend for a very young kid at beginner level, who already has a personal teacher, but would like to increase interactivity and engagement with the piano at home, almost like a game. Thank you!
Leuke video top ,
Ik heb een vraag ik heb een digitale piano de amadeus d510 is dat een goede investering geweest .
Groeten Richard
Are there any free apps that let you play using midi files. I want the notes to appear as they would on sheet music, not the cascading down video game look. Also, would be nice if I could connect my iPad to it with a cord and have it stop if I hit a wrong note. I have a Yamaha P105. Thanks!
TQ JEREMY...I NEED THIS...CONGRTS 200K SUBS...U DESERVE IT
Thank you!
Thanks for this informative video. Do you still have the links to try the apps ?
Great video and subject, Jeremy. This is valuable information for many, especially with free trials for the apps featured, and as usual, recommended keyboards and other peripheral accessories and items.
They would be good to shake off the cobwebs, even for me, but I have more advanced courses now.
Glad it was helpful!
@@JeremySee And that recommended keyboards looks really familiar. I think Masataka Kono uses the same Zoom digital recorder for his videos. I think he had a recent video featuring what he uses.
hi thank you! I have to choose: a digital piano with or without lightened keys? the question is: is there any app that connect to the digital piano and username: the light key function? thank you for your reply
Jeremy, you also have a link in the description for PianoForAll, but you didn't review it. It appears to be a one-time purchase, for up to 300 lessons. Have you tried it, what do you think of it?
Thanks and happy new year from Paris !
Happy new year!
thank u bro
Very useful video.thanks..but still confused..I have yamaha E373, can you pls suggest which app will be suitable..and similar to chordana in casio?doesn't yamaha has its own?
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Hi Jeremy . Did you know any software for MIDI To STYLES ? Pls
I have a Roland fp 10, can I connect the skoove app to it and play using headphones? How do I do that?
Do you have a free trial link by any chance? Haha. Thanks for the video very helpful!
I’m looking for the ability to simply see the notes on my device that I’m playing on my digital piano. I see lots of videos of pianists playing and what they are playing being transposed onto a device. Thanks!
Have you tried pianonote? I've been teaching myself to play the piano for a few hours on the weekends the past few years. I can play basic songs, but really struggle with 8th and 16th notes or playing with both hands when the 2 hands are playing anything complex.
May you suggest me which app has the most Japanese songs such as video console game (mario, etc.), anime (gundam, sailor moon, etc.) as well as J-Pop (Ken Hirai) ?
Man I got so relieved at 0:19 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Can I add a drum machine into my CAsio CT-1?
I would like to be able to use rhythms with my keyboard
This is really helpful. I see that you didn’t include Yousician in the review. What is your take on Yousician in comparison to Simply Piani and Flowkey?
Hi Jeremy thank you for the awesome in depth review! Would Roland Go:Key would with these apps? Many thanks Ethan, Australia
Yes it will!
You recommend the Roland FP-10, but why you never review it? I thought it was better than Yamaha P-45
Jeremey I'm looking forward to buy a yamaha psr e473 , is the display issue surely resolved in the newer models, if so from what manufacturing month they fixed the issue just to make sure I don't get the unresolved piece.
I purchased one last week in the UK. No issues so far with the display :-) I do have a 3 year warranty with the retailer though, but hopefully I won't have any issues.
Thanks for your review. Could you please tell which output will I need to connect an iPad for learning - USB to Host or USB to Device? I'm trying to choose a keyboard at the moment and don't want to make a mistake with this.
USB to Host
@@JeremySee thank you!
I think the play louder and play lower notations are fun to learn. It is in skoove but not simply piano. Is it I. Flowkey?
Is the Casio CT-S1 shown here suitable for learning piano? Asking because of just 61 keys and only semi-weighted. Would it be hard to switch from that to "full" electric piano?
How much would you charge after I get started? And limited time is what, and how much?
Hi jemery. I 2:04 2:07 want to sign up for your keyboard course. Having problems Is this still available?
Hi Jeremy, thanks for your very informative videos! I'm a complete beginner to piano... Do u feel the Yamaha EZ300 works well with piano apps?
Works perfectly!
Sir I don't know the type of tablet to buy for turtural
Can you connect your keyboard with those apps?
Hey Jeremy ....Long time, hope you and your family are doing well. I do hope Roland gets the new FP-E50 to you for review, would be a excellent comparison to the Yamaha DGX. Spec wise, it looks killer good. I do like Roland's PHA-4 Keybed Action. Excellent review on these learning apps. Thanks
Thanks for dropping in bud. It's a pricey board and I'm asking Roland to lend me a review unit. But I'm not hopeful. 🤞
@@JeremySee Wishing you the best of luck!👍
you are awesome
I have an acoustic piano, for 25 years. Decided to not let it just sit there collecting dust. Is there an app that works better with acoustic and android device? Complete noob here, for now. I want to be able to read sheet music so I can pick up any piece of music and atleast understand what's written. Which is best?
Hi, I’ve purchased Simply Piano but I don’t have the ‘play section/library’ mentioned in your video. Is this still rolling out and are the songs region bound? Cause I’m living in Europe and I would like to have Asian/Chinese songs as well. Thank you!
Have you finished the essential 3 course?
Please review the Kadence DP02W digital piano🧠🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺
What is the best app, I already experience simply piano but bad to say not complete song always short only I like huge full song and can learn formally
loop 5 plus bars and set tempo. thar would be good.
Why did you leave out the Yousician Piano?
Does anybody have any experience using one of these apps with a 61key keyboard ?
Do you need a specific keyboard that has the mipi cable or do these apps use the mic on your iPad to tell if you messed up on a note? I’m about to order a dep20 but can’t seem to find if it works with simply piano and how to connect it
You can use a MIDI cable or MIDI Bluetooth adapter or use the microphone in the tablet. Using MIDI allows you to play with headphones and a noisy room can’t cause a problem.
Love this guy videos
Which one would work best for someone with very little vision who just wants to learn chords and by ear? I cannot see small and quick moving video.
The 3 apps from this video are side scrollers, I get dizzy with them and found they don’t really prepare you to read sheet music.
I like Playground Sessions and Piano Marvel better since they actually have normal static sheets.
I did a full year of Playground Sessions and wanted to review my options again before I renew.
Piano Marvel for me
I have the Yamaha DGX-670 based on your recommendations about 2 years ago (maybe now you don't feel as strongly about it. ) In any case, I wish companies like Yamaha would produce learning apps as a perk to buy their instruments. I appreciate your work! Cheers!
That would be a game changer
I got a three month free flowkey subscription with my yamaha piano but they dont really advertise it I learnt about it while watching a review on my keyboard
Is it possible in any of these apps to change from english music encryption (A,B,C,D,E,F,G) to spanish/italian music encryption (Do,Re,Mi,Fa,Sol,La,Si)?
Settle down Julie Andrews 🙂
which app has Hans Zimmer songs ?
I suppose if one were to use this and essentially master the app, that type of person who reaches out for professional instructions at that point
Surely you need to print out the music so that you can practice it many times over having first learned from the app. I tried flowkey and couldnt find an option to print the music.
Hello Jeremy, how are you doing? I want to know if you will make a comparison of the Casio CT-S500 with the Yamaha PSR E473. I'm in doubt about buying one of these two and I want to know your thoughts about comparing them. Thanks in advance.
The Yamaha brand is better sure
Problem with all of these apps is there is no guidance from advanced and on. Yes the songs get harder but there is no guidance anymore. So you end up with just practising harder songs until you get it. Not really learning technique,flow, posture, handplacement, motion, relaxation, use of arms and body, freefall, trust (list goes on and on) . You will also most likely develop bad form if there is no one watching you and could even injure yourself. It can take some time to unlearn these bad habits.
Within a year of piano playing I completed Yousian, Playground sessions and Skoove. But the road ends there for piano apps (atleast for me). If you want to progress any further a teacher is mandatory. I would say get one anyway if you are serious about piano playing. But if you just want to see if this hobby is something for you then these apps are a great and cheap way to get started.
I have to tell you that I find the lack of a whole bunch of contemporary songs to be a lot closer to what I want from a piano learning app, because so much of what has come out in the past 30 years……and I know I’m gonna insult some people when I say this…… so much of what has come out in the past 30 years has been total crap. Add in the metronome feature, and the ability to reach out to a piano professional, and I think that it’s going to be well worth the additional money without having to scroll through endless pages of Adele and Ed Sheeran just to find something that’s worth playing. I think David Bennett had recommended skoove, and I after your review I’m starting to see why. Thank you for covering this.
I don't like that Flowkey doesn't show fingerings. They are really useful for picking up a song quickly. Instead, you have to watch the instructor's finger movements which is time consuming and error-prone.
Very ggod point ! I Agree 100 %.
What about Yousician?
I want to learn to play the keyboard, for now there are 2 keyboards that catch my attention And fits my budget Casio Ctx700 and Casio LKS250 can u tell me wich one is better?
I got the ctx700 and in my opinion its veery slick and sounds great (the dynamic switches also feels super good, almost as a cheaper proper piano)
simplypiano app we can wear headphone as we practice?
What should I go? Flowkey or simple piano😭😭😭
Hello! Do you know whether flowkey has removed lifetime subscription option? I cannot find it anywhere. Thank you
Lifetime subscription was still available when I made the video. Maybe it's hidden somewhere on the subscription page.
Hahah, that makes Jeremy See's lessons a bargain !
Didn’t you experience an out of sync (midi latency) when connecting your Casio st1 with your IPad by Bluetooth?
There'll always be some latency with anything wireless.
Any free apps for piano Jeremy? Thanks
I didn't get where to find the links.
Sir I ordered yamaha psr e463 and im a inactive beginner
Did I choose the right keyboard?
Almost any brand-name digital keyboard is "right" for a beginner. Don't worry about getting the best! The Yamahas are generally well rated. I use an older (circa 2006) Yamaha PSR 275 which is also has 61 keys. I also have a Yamaha upright which I rarely use. The PSR 275 is great for my"re-learning" and attempting BoogieWoogie. I suspect the e 463 has more features and better sound. You can go along way with it! As far as 61 keys vs 88 keys, the songs a beginner learns rarely ask for notes beyond keys, and if they do ask --ignore it. You can play fantastic songs with 61 keys.
If only there was a free trial! Don’t think he mentioned one 😢😝
How long will the free trials last? This video came out at the perfect time, I placed my keyboard order 2 days ago but it won’t be here for another week or so.
No worry. I'll keep it available till you get your keyboard. ❤️
how do you connect a USB C Ipad to the liano Korg?
An adapter
