Latest reviews of PianoHead app for iPhone and iPad
This is not worth the money. It is very simplified and does not progress at all. You need to be taught what the things are before you can understand what to do. You do the same thing and when you mess up it just starts over.
Ive tried a bunch of music apps and some of them are okay. But this is by far the best. Its easy to understand and more fun than the other ones. And Im definitely learning the notes. Totally worth it.
I used to play and hated the drills. This is a good and simple app to use with my kids to not repeat my suffering.
Weve been working on a real keyboard for awhile and this is still really useful. The kids are excited to "play" on the iPad and the process with this app makes the learning fun and very clear. Great to have a portable practice method!
Oh my goodness! I know my major scales now, and I can do them quickly too. I am throughly surprised about this - I am terrible at memorization, but turning it into edutainment. It took me 5 days of 15 minute sessions of games and I mastered the level getting the high score of 1400! This has made basic music fun to me and you have no idea how grateful I am now. I do have a request, after a certain point I started to want to turn off the random selection of scales so I could practice in sequence to reinforce what I learned and to help with ear training. I hope you update with a few more exotic scales too as time goes on. Pentatonic and blues would be on the top of my list. I would rebuy this app if it had an extensive list of scales to learn.
