Learning with Simply Piano: The basics

Written by Debra

Wow! You must be so excited to begin your piano learning journey 🌟. Once you start your lessons in Simply Piano, you'll be playing amazing music in no time at all! đŸŽ¶

How does the app teach me how to play?

Simply Piano works by listening to the notes you play and gives you live feedback on whether you're playing the right note. If the app notices any mistakes, it guides you to the correct notes by color-coding them and showing a visual keyboard at the bottom of the screen. It's like having a supportive virtual music teacher right at your fingertips!

So, what do the colors mean?

  • Blue - means you played the note correctly with no hint given 🎉

  • Yellow - means you played the note correctly after the app gave you a hint on the visual keyboard at the bottom of the screen

  • Red (in moving stages only) - means you played the wrong note

Tip: If you're struggling with the notes, sometimes a visual keyboard will appear at the bottom of the screen. Use the hints on that keyboard!

The grey keys show the notes that the app is hearing, but if you've played a note incorrectly, the correct key will be highlighted in yellow.
