The piano is one of the most attractive music instruments around, essential for anyone who wants to write music at a professional level and also on which theoretical music teaching is based. In turn, its capacity to adapt almost any song makes it one of the most popular instruments among people who want to learn how to play, but many don't dare to take the next step because they think it's complicated.

Learn how to play the piano at home and by yourself

And although it's true that you'll need to spend lots of hours studying to be able to play it like a professional, you can also reach an excellent level by means of the self-taught method offered by Flowkey. This online piano teacher will help you to learn by means of popular songs and with variable difficulty levels, adapting to your knowledge and skills.

This application to learn how to play the piano has been developed by teachers and professional musicians who have adapted their know-how and methods to the system provided and that introduces you to everything you need to know about notes, chords, and technique.

It's based on a simple yet efficient method: split-screen videos in which on the top part we can see a keyboard with fingers playing the corresponding notes, whilst on the lower part we can see their representation on a stave.

The only thing the student has to do is place his monitor on the piano or keyboard and try to follow the songs imitating what he sees. Furthermore, there's also a version for Android and iPhone so you can use the app from your tablet as well (much more manageable than a Windows or Mac computer screen).

An excellent online course to learn to play the piano.

Everything you need to know to learn how to play

We have to point out that this is an entertaining method to learn how to play the piano by yourself. Especially because you'll be able to play songs that you like, as the repertoire includes all sorts of famous songs. These are the main features you'll find in the user zone:

Does this mean I'm not going to learn how to play like a professional?
