Getting started
- Put your iPad on the piano’s music desk, close enough that the microphone can hear the piano.
- Tap Start mic and allow microphone access.
- Tap play: after the count-in, play the highlighted notes — right hand on the treble staff, left hand on the bass staff.
- Correct notes on time turn green; wrong notes or missed beats turn red or amber. Each hand has its own score.
Common questions
The app doesn’t react when I play.
Check that Start mic is on and that microphone access is allowed in Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → Piano Trainer. Play clearly, one note per hand at a time, and move the iPad closer to the piano if the room is noisy.
Which notes does it use?
C major, fixed five-finger positions: the right hand from C4 to G4 (thumb on middle C) and the left hand from E3 to B3 (thumb on the B below middle C). You can narrow each hand’s range and choose which note lengths appear in the controls.
It’s too fast.
Lower the tempo — anywhere from 40 to 120 BPM. The timing windows are deliberately generous.
Can I practise the same melody again?
Yes: tap Copy seed to keep a melody’s seed, then paste it and tap Load later.
Does it work with a digital piano or keyboard?
Yes, through its speakers — Piano Trainer listens with the microphone, so no cable or MIDI is needed.
