An interactive and visual guide to learning how to play the piano
Skoove is installed on Mac and PC but also and especially on your tablet. At the moment only the iPad is supported. A tablet that you will be able to use instead of your partition. The tablet screen will return the image of a score and two hands to a virtual keyboard that will play the music in real time.
The video shows the positions of the hands and helps you master the correct positioning and technique. An animated score tells you which notes to play at the right time. Artificial intelligence in the app listens to you and helps you improve. In use it is very effective. Each piece is cut into short passages to help you progress step by step.
Piano lessons in lines adapted to your experience and your level
Once installed, the application will allow you to choose between three levels: beginner, intermediate or advanced. The beginner level, for example, assumes that you know nothing about the piano. It helps you settle into the piano, teaches you how to navigate it, and introduces you to reading notes and other musical skills. This is a good place to start if you are ready to learn how to play the piano from scratch.
The intermediate level is aimed at pianists who already have some piano experience but are looking for tips on how to progress or who simply want to learn some fun songs for the piano. The advanced level finally teaches more complex songs and targets people who return to the piano after a long break or who already have some musical background. You will of course be able to move from one level to another easily.
Skoove offers lessons in piano technique, improvisation and composition.
