Simply Piano listens to the notes you play - on any piano or keyboard - and gives you immediate feedback, so you know if you're on track or need a bit more practice.

Final Thoughts. Simply Piano is a good app for those who want to learn to play the piano but don't know where to start. The practice is very guided; the app shows you what to practice, forces you to play it slowly if you need to, and doesn't let you move on unless you get it right.

Simply Piano functions as a subscription service. For what you pay, you get monthly access to all of the materials. A subscription option costs $149.99 per year. However, you can also purchase it for $89.99 for six months or $59.99 for three months.

Another great feature of Simply Piano is that it provides you with sheet music to practice with. This is a great way to improve your reading skills and learn new songs. The app also offers a variety of songs to choose from, so you can practice playing different genres of music.

The Song Library has something for everyone with over 80 new songs from top-charting hits to the classics.

Studying piano has also been shown to amazingly improve memory - particularly verbal memory - and build good habits like focus and perseverance, diligence and creativity. Children who had a few years of piano study under their belts could remember twenty percent more vocabulary words than their peers.

So we've learned that you don't need a jaw-dropping amount of talent to be a great piano player. All you need is to have a love for your piano, practice diligently, and fix your mindset on your end goal. Really, that's all it takes to become a great piano player.
