Entity reviews smartphone applications that will teach you how to play the piano or keyboard.

Because of our technologically-driven culture, you have the resources to learn how to play the piano at your fingertips (or in your back pocket). Aside from the bragging rights, being a woman who plays an instrument comes with a number of benefits. So, if you’re looking to add this to your repertoire of skills, it’s never too late in life to start learning.

USA Today says that “Musicians experience the music through their fingers and throughout their bodies. And the work required to learn to play an instrument engages the brain’s cognitive, sensory, and reward circuits.”

If you want to learn how to use that grand piano you have sitting in the corner of your living room, download these four applications today to get a jumpstart. 

1 MUSIC FREE TUTOR

This app will allow you to learn and practice reading sheet music, which is essential for playing the piano. Once you’ve got your sheet music skills down, you’ll be ready to rock that piano!

2 SIMPLY PIANO BY JOYTUNES

Located in iTunes, Simply Piano will teach you the basics of piano playing and then move to more advanced courses. The app works by picking up the sound of you playing your actual piano, rather than on the device screen.

3 YOUSICIAN

Available from both iTunes and Google Play, Yousician is your personal music tutor. You can play songs at different speeds until you are comfortable and receive actual feedback on how well you did. Even better, the progress you make is tracked within the app so you can see how much you have advanced each day or week!

4 PIANO TUTOR

Piano Tutor is designed specifically for the iPad. It improves your sheet music reading ability, gives you rhythm and timing practice and allows for a fun way to brush up on piano skills. This app can also work with you when you are playing a real keyboard.

If you want to learn how to play the piano but don’t want to pay for the cost of lessons, or just want to sharpen some of your skills real quick, one of these applications can help you out! Download them today to start out – or continue – your piano playing journey.
