Not sure where to start?
Here’s the order I use with my own students.
1
Brand-new beginners
Start with Key Finder, then try Staff Sprint on the easiest level and the Rhythm Trainer.
2
Reading, but slowly
Build speed with Note Trainer and Note Trainer +, then add the Interval Trainer on Beginner.
3
Studying theory or exams
Take the placement test in ABRSM Music Theory, explore keys in Key Explorer, and test yourself on the Black Belt Keys Exam Track.
Apps build the habit. Lessons build the musician.
These tools are free to use. If you’d like a teacher in your corner, I offer online one-on-one piano and voice lessons for all ages.
