Piano
Learn piano on the piano you already have.
Play an acoustic piano, a digital keyboard or the keys on screen. Melody+ hears every note and chord, lights up what you got right and waits while you find the next one.

Made for real practice
Hears every note, even chords
Several notes at once are recognised through the microphone, so two-handed pieces count too. A MIDI keyboard over USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi gives the most precise timing.
Falling notes or sheet music
Start with glowing falling notes, then switch to a scrolling grand staff when you're ready to read.
Listen first, then your turn
In Listen mode the app plays the song with the keys lit up. Then it's your turn: choose Wait for me or play along.
Help when you're stuck
Lessons played along go part by part: miss three notes and you're counted back in at the start of that part. In Wait for me, after a few wrong tries Melody+ plays the note you're looking for.
Practise by part
Practise each section with the right hand, the left hand or both, and earn stars for every part.
Practise the hard part
Missed a star? Melody+ picks the hard part and slows it to 60%, then steps up to 75, 90 and 100% as you get it, before you play the whole song again.
How a song comes together
Listen
Hear the song once with the keys lit, so you know how it should sound.
Practise
Wait for me, one hand at a time, one part at a time, from 50 to 120% speed.
Play it through
Score up to 1,000 points and beat your personal best. The third star needs the song at full speed.

Questions
Do I need a MIDI keyboard?
No. Melody+ listens to acoustic and digital pianos through your iPhone's microphone. A MIDI keyboard over USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is optional and gives the most precise timing, and you can also play the multi-touch keys on screen.
Can I learn to read sheet music?
Yes. Switch the player from falling notes to sheet music at any time to follow a scrolling grand staff, and the Reading the Staff course teaches the notes step by step.
Why didn't I get three stars?
The third star needs the song at full speed. At a slower tempo you can earn up to two, and Melody+ offers to practise the hard part so you can work up to 100%.
Are songs available at different levels?
Many tunes come in several versions, from beginner to intermediate and advanced, so you can keep playing the same song as you improve.
