TL;DR: Learn piano with real-time feedback instead of passive videos. A 5-year flowkey Classic Plan is $99.99 (MSRP $899).
Trying to teach yourself piano usually breaks down at the same point: you can follow along with sheet music or a video, but you can’t verify if you’re doing it right. Without feedback, progress stalls. And, honestly, who wants to take formal lessons every week? Instead, there’s an app for that: flowkey, and it turns your keyboard or piano into something closer to an interactive lesson setup.
It listens to your playing through your device’s mic or MIDI connection and gives real-time feedback, so you’re not progressing until the notes are correct. That alone changes the learning curve.
From there, it builds structure. You get step-by-step courses covering piano fundamentals like reading sheet music, hand positioning, and chord progressions, along with a library of 1,000+ songs ranging from beginner to advanced. Classical staples from composers like Bach and Beethoven are included, but the key feature is scalability—you can choose versions that match your current level.
Tools like Wait Mode (which pauses until you hit the right note), slow playback, and looped sections make it easier to isolate problem areas. It’s closer to debugging than guessing.
You can use it across devices—PC, tablet, or phone—so practice isn’t locked to one setup. And since everything runs through the app, there’s no need to rely on scattered resources.
Get a flowkey Classic Plan for 5 years at $99.99, that’s just $20 per year (MSRP $899).
