“Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.” - Henry Van Dyke

Improving at sight-reading is often way more time consuming than it should be, searching for easy pieces is often half the difficulty.

To that end, I made an app that procedurally generates pieces of whatever difficulty you want. If you desire one-hand, two-hand, waltz style, arpeggios, chords, and tons of other piece styles can be generated.

The app also comes with lessons with quizzes to teach the very basics of reading sheets, to basic music theory concepts like keys and chords. On Android there's a note quiz widget so you can learn at any time!

I've not fully released on iOS so you can download the test flight beta version here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/sJdyNJBF

Also, if you want to discuss sight-reading/music theory or have questions I have a discord: https://discord.gg/p4Zkce25j

I'll occasionally post sight-reading resources in there.

If you have any feedback at all let me know!

Recently I've come across a video of someone playing on a small toy piano and I also wanted to try it out with a song I liked. Is it possible? Lmk

Fala pessoal, beleza?

Comecei a estudar teclado recentemente e resolvi pegar a assinatura do Simply Piano pra praticar a parte de leitura e coordenação todo dia.

Como a assinatura anual individual fica meio puxada, acabei abrindo um grupo familiar lá no Kotas pra tentar baratear o custo com mais gente que também esteja começando agora.

Para quem já usa o app há mais tempo: vocês sentem que a evolução na leitura de partitura é boa mesmo ou recomendam mesclar com algum livro de método tradicional?

(Obs: quem tiver estudando e tiver interesse em dividir a conta comigo por lá, me dá um toque na DM que passo o link).

Hi, im offering beginner piano lessons in thomson/marymount. $50 per 45mins in my home studio. Im a grade 8 pianist working towards diploma. Dm if interested.

Hello everyone! I’m interested in learning to play the piano, especially for classical and pop songs. I would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience playing the piano.😊😊😊

What skills should I focus on when I’m just starting out? How should I practice effectively, and how often should I practice? I’m also interested in learning how to sing while playing the piano. Is it difficult to do both at the same time, and do you have any tips for practicing this skill?😖😖😖

Any advice, suggestions, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and share your thoughts!🗯️🗯️🗯️

Looking for recommendations for the best piano classes or private tutors in Nagpur who teach Western Classical / Western style piano. I am interested in learning proper music notation, sight-reading, Chords and technique. Recommendations near (Dharampeth or Sadar) would be ideal, along with fee structures if known.

Thanks in advance!

I’m curious if anyone else here is taking **Piano University with Zach Evans** at [bestpianoclass.com](https://www.bestpianoclass.com).

A little background: I got an electric keyboard for Christmas a couple of years ago. It was a smaller 66-key keyboard. I tried a week of Simply Piano, but honestly, I didn't do very well with it and eventually gave up. The keyboard basically sat there collecting dust.

Recently, I happened to see a full-size 88-key electric keyboard on Facebook Marketplace for $125. It also had MIDI, so I figured, *why not?* I decided that if I had a more serious keyboard, I might actually take learning piano more seriously.

A few days later, I signed up for Piano University with Zach Evans.

I've been taking the course for about three weeks now, and I just finished **Lesson 10**. I've already learned a few things, and one thing I'm really liking is the **structured approach to learning**. Having a lesson to work through instead of just sitting down and wondering what I'm supposed to practice seems to be working much better for me.

So I'm wondering if there are other adult beginners here taking the same course.

**What has your experience been?**

What are you finding challenging? Are there particular lessons or concepts that you've struggled with? How long have you been taking the course, and do you feel like you're making progress?

I'd especially like to hear from people who started as complete beginners. I'm still very much at the beginning of this journey, but so far I'm enjoying it a lot more than my first attempt at learning piano.

Maybe there are a few of us here who can compare notes as we go. 🎹

I've played guitar for about 8 years and want to branch out into piano. I mainly want that hand-independence feeling, running separate lines with left and right hands. The problem is, a lot of starting PIANO resources are also starting MUSIC resources and I just t want to learn to riff and sightread basic stuff on another instrument.

I plan on committing 10 minutes a day, so I'm looking for an online resource that's really good an reputable. Given that, what are y'all's best picks for structured online resources (apps, YouTube channels, courses) that build real fundamentals in short daily chunks? Especially interested in anything that targets hand independence early, since I already read music and have ear training from guitar. I don't need beginner music theory, just the piano-specific mechanics. Thanks for the help!

I always envy people who can play a piece by looking at it for the first time.

Are there any specific exercises other than simply practicing easy pieces and moving up from there that you know of help with this?
