I already see a correlation/improvement with, guitar, freestyle rapping, and now I look at boxing way different now. This is all from just 2-8 minutes a day (EVERYDAY). Just got to week seven yesterday.
That’s interesting! I’ve used Duolingo to study French but not gonna lie I haven’t practiced in a bit so I didn’t even know when they added a music course. I’ll have to check it out sometime
@@SaxStation Piano is my main instrument for my music studies. I have been playing for five years now. My sight reading isn't perfect though. I can indentify notes okay for the most part, it's just reading through stuff while playing that needs more work. My ear training could always use work too
Cool, let me know what you think if you try it. A different app more for ear training might be a better fit. And just practicing sight reading more. This app is more for people starting off from what I can tell.
@@SaxStation For sure! I'll have to try it on my iPad when I get home because it seems that those courses are only available on iOS devices so far. They're not available to android devices yet
How do you position your fingers? If I'm going to build up muscle memory I want to do it right. Put your right thumb on C, the index finger on D etc? Something else?
That depends on the key you’re playing in, where a part of a song is tonally centered, etc. what you described could be a good starting place, but it won’t always be best. A screen is also a bit different than an actual piano.
Hello Casey, it should be there if you add a new course. The two new courses- math & music were at the top of the list for me. Might need to update the app.
Was kinda disappointed to find they only have piano, would be cool if they could add other instruments
Potentially they might in the future. I think it’s a good start though and they have made a number of updates already.

I’m glad to hear it’s helping you!

It's a fairly new addition! Might be good for you. Have you played much piano before?

How do I get this part on my app?
