I have been using Yousician for the past three months. I could play piano (teached myself through UA-cam) before I decided to start Yousician. My focus was always on Chords alone and that was a huge limitation. I also could not read sheet music at all. I can play along in our church band band I cannot take the lead. So I decided to try Yousician to improve my skills. From the start I used standard notation in Yousician without color coding to force myself to learn reading sheet music and I am so glad I did that. It really helped me a lot to learn and improve my sheet music reading skill. I was very board with the first 4 levels in Yousician because it was very basic. Nevertheless I kept on going thorugh each and every lesson. I really started to enjoy it from around level 6. I am now busy with level 7 and I cannot wait to do the next lesson everyday. Overall I like Yousician a lot. My sheetmusic reading has never in the past reached the level where it is now and it improves everyday.
I've been playing both classical and metal guitar for 13 years and I can tell that you are having trouble remembering what its like to be a beginner. If you know nothing and you want to stick with it, it has to be fun. Slamming beginners with hand positioning and posture and all that other music theory stuff will make them feel overwhelmed and a little stupid. This app I think is going to create a lot of musicians who may not have made it through the way that we did with our instruments.
Yes i just played over 40 mins a day 3 days straight. It was never fun before this app.
9:45. I can see that you're in shock but you can't really "over-do" it unless you're actually sitting on your hands backwards. You can talk to any good physio and as part of strengthening for body weight exercises like calisthenics, you actually work on your wrists on the floor bent backwards. What they're showing is not overdoing it.
I've been using Yousician for several months now. I started as an absolute beginner. One of the most important aspects about learning piano is learning the sheet music, I suppose, and that's where the Yousician defaults to this colour code system, which is much more intuitive than just classical sheet notes. But the problem starts, when one want's to play by the sheet notes. It's almost impossible to understand a thing, if you've always learned playing by the colours. So in that sense, do you suggest, that beginners should start learning right from the sheet notes and leave the colour code system out entirely?
you have the option to remove the colors and see black normal sheet music notes.
To add to my Comment, I also benefit a lot from Yousician in learning to play notes with the correct fingering. This is one of the great things in Yousician that also improved my skill.
I would love to hear your opinion of Piano Marvel too, particularly with regard to improving sight reading.
I have learned to play by ear before started to use Yousician. What I like about Yousician is that the notes in the songs are not always 100% predictable. This forces me to actually read what I am suppose to play and to not play by ear alone but.
Been using yousician as a beginner for a while. The very beginning is okay but as you go forward it surprises you and won't give you time to think and process what's happening. Once you come back to senses, the session is over. Anyone with same thoughts?
I'm going to start with Yousician. Can we trade impressions, ideas and comments about it? I would appreciate it.
9:50 Stretching just helps to prevent tendons and muscle ache/pain. If you are new at anything that involves repetitive moment of the same joints, it can be uncomfortable for a beginner and start to hurt in your forearms.
this goes for everything not just music, worming up is smart!
With the amount of personal and teaching experience I have had with injuries and injury prevention, I can say with confidence that relying on “stretching” to release pain is not the way to go. If you experience pain when you play, it’s a marker of improper use of the body OR pieces that are too difficult for your current level. In short, prioritizing a proper technical level for your repertoire is the number one thing you need to focus on to prevent any sort of pain or discomfort.
I have 13 years of classical and metal guitar under my belt and a degree in music theory. I also played violin in the Dallas symphony orchestra. So I can tell you that stretching is a good practice to start early. It's nit the ONLY thing that matters but it's part of a system. You shouldn't talk down to people just because you are experienced. This is why apps like yousician exist and are taking business from professional musicians who want to teach like us. Because people like you try to intimidate others with a less "impressive" resume. I subscribed but I want you to know your response to this commenter made me unsub. Do better and stop making us look pretentious.
Using Yousician with the mic, works OK but it fails in some parts especially when there is short fast notes and if there is background noise. You also need to ensure that the listening level is not too loud or that your piano is not too soft. In the end I switched to MIDI by connecting iPad to the piano via USB. This works VERY well. It solved all of the problems and it is actually compulsory in my view to do this especially when you get to the higher levels in Yousician. With midi it is 100% accurate everytime.
The app works better through MIDI i had horrible latency issues also before i used MIDI.
Hi, thank you for your reviews. I have been looking at a lesson app called Melodics, and would love your review as a piano teacher. Hope to see a review soon.
I have watched 3 of your app review videos back to back and noticed the volume change quite a bit. From Simply Piano, to FLowkey to this, I have to turn volume up a bit each video. Not a big deal, and I think it's only noticable watching them back to back. Another inconsistency more noticable in this video is your lav mic position. When you talk to the camera, your voice gets quiter from time to time. Having mic on your right side may be better.
I have used Yousician for quitar through the free portion, and it seemed to be a good starting app. It's like playing a game, but getting a hang of the instrument in the process.
Heyy thanks so much for watching! Thanks for the pointer, I noticed that as well 🥲 I’m glad you’re having a positive experience with Yousician!
Can you do a review for pianote
I find some comments here harsh. I am as close to a complete beginner as you will get and was tempted to try Yousician after watching reviews of several apps. The downsides you picked - perfectly objectively and properly have been enough to write Yousician off as a prospect for me. I am grateful for the time your review will save me when deciding which app, ultimately, to sign with. Great work, Mariya - thanks.
Thank you for your kind comment! Glad to hear this was helpful 😊❤️
Which one did you choose finally?
Flat fingers is actually how my piano teacher taught it 😂 (rather than the spider fingers) Much more ergonomic, moving the larger muscles, and easier to play fast runs 👍
So this app is listening in the microphone? But two things. If I have my own made Piano sound on synthesizer will it wotk? And what if I don't have mic?
Hi Maria, how are you? My name is Carlosandres Cifuentes. I am currently a student at a college and I’m majoring in Piano. But I came in not knowing much so I’m really stuck and I’m scared I’m not gonna succeed in something or I’m gonna make a mistake in something. My site reading skills are horrible. Can you give me a few tips on how you’ve mastered site reading? I really want to play pieces like Chopin and Beethoven but without having good site reading skills I can’t do that. Do you know what I can do?
Hi Mariya! Youcision looks a bit of a low budget investment. There’s no reward system in flowkey they just have “good/great job” and no accompanied harmony- my preference is no harmony or back track.
Wonder if you would also review the Quincy jones piano app playground sessions? There are so many now so don’t blame you if you don’t.
But now there are a lot of piano apps to chose from as an adult I thought flowkey was best - but there’s a lot of self navigating with the “lessons” that is you choose what to learn next and as a guide they have labeled the lessons as beginner or intermediate.
Once again good review!
Thank you so much for your comment!! I’ll take a look into them for sure, thanks for the recommendation 🤗 Yeah this was just a weird one to review… not sure what’s going on 🤷♀️
Now do Piano Marvel (has a 30 day free trial including the sight reading test.)
Ohhh I’ve actually never heard of that!
@@WithMariya watch the tutorial video they provide. There is a lot in it. Including full method books , sight reading tests, slicing songs up, and allows instructors to monitor student progress.
@@orthodoxguy2006 Thanks for the advice!
This app fucking sucks. It can never hear what I’m playing on the electric even though it’s going through a fucking amp. It always says I missed a note even when I played it clear as day
Did you continue to train flight of the bumblebee ??
Hmmm I think I just did it for that one video!
Piano marvel is the best
Even though you tried, your review was EXTREMELY biased as a professional and by the way you probably learned the Piano. Can't blame you though.
I think you are ranting over everything that is happening in the app because you do not know the totality of the lesson structure and the objectives behind the structure. Maybe the developers did not consider your train of thought because they have a different brain? It really makes me want to critique your teaching every step of the way if it jives with my expectations based on my piano knowledge of what works for me based on my experience and knowledge of piano. You sound ranty tbh… Does this mean your competent?
Hey friend! If you love the app, more power to you! You’re right, everybody has a different experience coming into music and therefore different approaches when it comes to teaching 😊 As for the question about my competency as a musician… Not sure what to tell you 🤣
