Simply Piano Song Library: Menu & Navigation

Written by Debra

While you're playing your favorite songs in the Song Library, there are a few handy features we want you to know about 😀

At any time, you can drag the screen back and forth to rewind or fast forward the song to practice those tricky parts again. (This feature is not available in the Courses).

Pressing pause (top left) will display the some useful menu items. Checkout the items below, relevant to the device you're using.

🍏 iOS devices

On iOS devices, pressing pause in Songs will display two menus on the screen:

1. Left-hand menu

  • The Play button unpauses the app, so you can return to where you left off

  • The Restart button starts the stage over again if you'd like to try something over

  • The Listen button plays whichever notes you can currently see on the screen (this feature is available on iOS only)

  • The Exit button will take you back to the mini-journey

2. Extra options lower menu

  • Speed controls: Slow down or speed up the tempo of the song

  • Hands: Choose to practice with your left hand only, right hand only, or both hands

  • Practice mode: This will enable hints if you play a note incorrectly, and the song will wait for you to play the note correctly before moving on

  • Metronome: Enables the in-app metronome to help with your timing (instead of the background music and vocals)

  • Finger numbers: Toggle finger numbers on/off to help you play the notes without relying on the finger numbers

🤖 Android Devices

On Android devices, pressing pause in Songs will display the following menu on the screen:

  • The Play button unpauses the app, so you can return to where you left off

  • The Restart button starts the stage over again if you'd like to try something over

  • The Menu button will exit the song and take you back to the mini-journey

  • The Tempo options will allow you to change the speed of the song
