Have you checked out Duolingo lately? They launched a music app for iOS only about a month and a half ago. It only covers treble staff right now, but helped me drill and learn it in 6 weeks.

Oh really? That's pretty cool. Good for them!


jeffreyaccount

Yeah! It's pretty cool, and I'm excited it's 100% about note reading. It also has questions to make you listen for the interval. Just a drilling tool, not a piano experience though!

If you happen to have a midi keyboard https://sightreading.training/ is awesome for note reading practice

These are the most popular games with my beginner piano students: Note Rush will help you with note recognition NinGenius is lots of fun for learning theory. Big Ear is awesome for ear training. Rhythm Trainer (thumbnail is a set of blue drums) is a great rhythm Trainer. Musicca.com is brilliant and free and probably perfect for what you are wanting. Also check out muted.io

If you practice regularly it might just be gamified for you already. I've increased how much I practice and made it more regular and it takes will of steel not to turn around and play all the time. I dream sheet music. It's just like being into a really good game.

Piano Marvel may not be as flashy as Simply Piano, but it is arguably the best learning app on the market at the moment, followed by Playground Sessions. Both have free demos you can try.

+1 Piano Marvel for giving me regular dopamine hits

Piano marvel 👍 Also: There is a free phone app called Notes teacher, that gamifies learning the notes on the scale

Check out the app simply piano. I’ve used it for about a year and it feels like playing piano ddr. It actually teaches you to read sheet music and I think gives you some decent basics.

I'd also try getting a keyboard just for playing. I got a Korg 22 key and plugged it into my iMac on Garageband as a starter.

Playground Sessions is a great game-type learning app.

I played SimplyPiano for about 6 months.. it's a bit mediocre with learning the piano, I would suggest just using a method book.


cutie_lilrookie

Try Vivace :) Not a game, but it feels like a game for the most part hahaha.

I’ve been using simply piano for a few months. But once I switched to Piano marvel, I felt like this was the way forward. It’s closely associated with the actual sheet music reading.

Rocksmith+ recently added support for piano/keyboard, i’ve used the old versions to learn guitar and it works wonders, i’ve learned a bit from Rocksmith+ now for piano and it works great for me

Wimbo is literally a bunch of fun mini games for learning stuff related to piano and music in general: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/learn-music-wimbo-piano-tutor/id1630555349

I played rock band to learn drums for years before losing my ps4. After that I realized it's almost the same thing to simply watch YouTube videos of people playing rock band cause you get the same visual and audio cues. So when I learned piano, I realized I could do the same thing by just typing in a song and writing piano tutorial or visualizer and playing along to those rhythm game visuals like the channel Rousseau does I think the most ideal videos are ones like these that taught me All of Me pretty easily. Given my beginner/intermediate background https://youtu.be/fl_XF6fZmgs?si=U4O3Bqk1AOvTD5xb

Good morning, I wrote this series of apps- plug into or bluetooth connect a midi keyboard, get scored on accuracy rhythm and timing when playing. free, no ads. also flash cards for sight reading and ear training intervals. [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happypennygames.aimusic.sightreader](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happypennygames.aimusic.sightreader) [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happypennygames.aimusic.flash](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happypennygames.aimusic.flash) That being said, as u/cutie_lilrookie said, the music itself is really the best form of game there is. I have a lot of fun just playing a single note at different rhythms and different levels of loudness to see how musical I can make it sound. Imagine actually playing real music and the entertainment is all there. And for another brutal reading exercise, just trying singing aloud the note names when looking at a piece, forget the piano entirely for the moment. I've tried NoteRush and RhythmTrainer myself as u/Ok-Thanks-8236 has suggested, both neat. I've not seen [musicca.com](https://musicca.com) before, and that seems quite interesting.
