Hi Christine..been watching your videos,very informative. Just wondering about skoove, I purchased korg b2n,it says free 3mos subscription for every korg product. But I didnt receive any coupon for it. Do you have any idea how to claim it? Thank you..

Thanks for taking out the time to review this for us. I appreciate it!
You're very good at making what seems like boring beginner lessons, look entertaining and fun to learn, you are showcasing these apps off very well, keep up the great work.
Wow, what a great idea. I’m just looking around for my first keyboard and have been wondering about these teach yourself apps. Thanks very much.
Great to actually see how the app works. Ridiculously not many reviews show this. I can now make a decision based on what I’ve seen. Many thanks!
Thank you Christina for your videos.
Thank you for this video! I may try it out!
Thanks Christine
Skoove also offers live online lessons to supplement the app. This allows students to work with a real person to get help and feedback. My son is now teaching for them.
Thanks Christine for featuring another app. Compared to e.g. Flowkey, the songs I could find on the Skoove's youtube site were much fewer and posted almost entirely more than 6 months old (ie no addition for the last half year!). Do you find the same on the app?
Hi Christina, super 👏👍habe selber auch Skoove zum lernen.
Great video👍👍👍
Very cool. Skoove teach it very well (first learn notes, than right hand, than left hand, than both, so I learn it with real teacher). Can you load your own Notes into app e.g. to learn only scales? Or Which App would you recommend to learn scales?
Great review thanks 😊
i love that app and now i am beginer 3
Thank you very much
Love your vids Christine. For a lead singer with 35 years experience also playing guitar what app would you recommend I go with to learn the piano for vocal accompaniment? Thanks
It's will be good for me Thanks
Still, Piano Marvel for me!!!! Nothing beats it 😍🥰
Hi
I'm looking for an app that is "suitable" for accoustic piano's and as for what i've been reading, they lack some understanding of getting the right notes that are being played. Do you recomend any app?
I'm a 46 years old with almost no knowledge of piano...yeah...quite old to learn but eager to learn.
I'm taking some personal lessons from a teacher but at a rate of 1 per week my improvement is quite slow.
I would like to add some other options to my piano education at home. I was keen on Skoove or flowkey...
Let me know you thoughts
Do you recommend Yamaha P125? What electronic piano do you have?
Hi
Thinking of getting skoove to learn piano. Just watched your video, So I'm hoping you have jumped in deeper by now and have an honest opinion of it. What do you think ? Should I jump in or have you a better alternative.
Thank you
Gary
Hey this was a great video! I was just wondering, is there desktop support? I’d much rather prefer to hook my piano up to my computer instead of using an iPad
You can use scoove with the web browser. My sister does it as she does not own a tablet.
Hi Christine, thank you for the video. At minute 4:29 you were puzzled that the program asked permission to enable the microphone, although you previously selected MIDI input. Please note that this is a bug, or rather a design glitch, acknowledged by Skoove, that affects at least the Piano Beginner 1 lessons. This makes practicing with headphones in the middle of the night impossible. I reported this to support, and they promised to investigate, but, due to some complicated technical reasons, I would not expect this to happen very soon. Regards, Liviu.
Hello Liviu,
The course "Piano Beginner 1" on the app does not allow MIDI/USB/Bluetooth support, yet. You can play the lessons via acoustic piano/keyboard. It's definitely not a bug - it just means, 14 lessons out of more than 400 lessons are being detected in a different way. Rest assured that all the other courses on the app allow MIDI/USB/Bluetooth connection (and thus, the use of headphones). Please contact us via info@skoove.com use the messenger on our website/app if you need any assistance.

@@Skoove It sure sounds like a bug.
@@Skoove Has this been fixed, yet?
Post videos playing couple of songs. It would be motivating seeing your progress.
I used to use flowkey, I'm a complete beginner and I did the mistake to choose the easy way... looking at the hands playing as opposed to sticking to the sheet music... Not sure this feature is good for complete beginners
Did you try the simply piano iPad beta? I see people talking about it online and the new features but I haven't seen a video about it. I'm wondering if it's worth buying an iPad just for it.
Beta is great. I bought a second hand, relatively cheap Ipad just for Simply Piano and was so glad I did.
Thanks for reviewing Skoove. Do you have to know how to read music? Obviously it would help but if you literally don’t know a thing about reading music, is the app still worthwhile? Thanks
You don't have to know anything to start with any of these apps. They teach you the basics. It's just up to you to practice and remember! Best of luck!
@@christineesc Great, thank you. Happy New Year.
I am thinking about buying 1 year subscription in one of those piano apps for my daughter. Which apps do you recommend? I am playing to use the program from a PC.
I recommend Simply Piano, Piano by Yousician, Piano Maestro(Available in IPad but not phone.), Piano Academy. They are one of the best. I'm learning through Simply Piano and I'm under 18
@@ellajohanson6915 Simply piano doesnt really teach you about posture and hand placement so i recommend piano by yousician...It teaches you ALOT amd its super kid friendly so i highyly recommend iy
Which midi cord do you use. I’ve ordered my keyboard and don’t know which midi cord to order. I have 3 months Skoove. I want to avoid any unnecessary frustration. The keyboard I ordered is Alesis Recital Pro/Digital piano, keyboard w/88 hammer keys, 12 voices, built in speakers, headphone output & powerful educational features.
Thank you, Sherry
Not sure if you found it but you can just type on on amazon midi usb adapter and you will find it it uses usb 2.0
This is cool. Trying to find something for my 8 year old son.
Which one would you recommend to learn notes?
how you made this video showing the ipad screen so well? how it works?
Oh wow, I've never heard anyone say they don't like Imagine! How can I trust any of your reviews now?! (Just kidding, your channel is great.)
I think I prefer flowkey over this app .. seems more polished
it would help if the metronome played throughout, instead of just the precount...so it's just earballing the tempo
Nice work - thanks.
So you are keeping the app with the best content for last ? Playground sessions? But do yourself a favor, try that one also on windows, it gives a much much better experience then on the ipad...
Hi there, how’s the Skoove going...any update?
Which app is best for piano accompaniment ?
Does it recognise the sound when using headphones ?
where i find a cable for my ipad that connects with a korg b2?
Would you recommend going with a 61 or 88 key keyboard?
88
What I like about this app is, it has a lifetime membership.
What does the program do if you make a mistake
Skoove wants me to give them a credit card before even showing a single thing to me to spur my interest. It's a very poor way to do it I think. At least they should do what you are doing to show how it works. Thanks for making the video. The sound from your tablet was inaudible without turning my sound up all the way but I get the idea.
I've tried a bunch of piano training programs. The best one by a wide margin was Playground Sessions (in my humble opinion). All the others just trot out the exact same list of royalty free stuff like Imagine and Claire de Lune and Clocks. ick. Playground Sessions has a heck of a lot more current songs than the others do.
skoove or piano marvel?
Can you recommend an app for windows or even android? thanks!
Simply piano is a good app that works with Android
@@doodlesnoodles5581 I just download it and started to practice, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
@@JC-px9ws you're welcome. I'm new to it too but have heard good things about it and have liked what I've seen so far. Good luck
Dose it stop if you miss note, yousician dont stop if i miss note and i hate thet, some time a need time to hit right note especially with new chord
Great advice!
Does it allow you to print any sheet music ?
If you screen shot
Does it work on desktop or Android because I will never buy an Apple product?
I wish the bigger part of the screen was devoted to the app instead of the presenter. You can barely see or read anything of the app itself.
It's a Rookie role game
Doesn’t show how to connect iPad with keyboard clearly?.
All of the apps support Bluetooth, but they treat it like any other midi controller.
Do you have to pay anything??
You should recite what they're saying to you instead of just sitting there. It would help.
So just like all the other apps it teaches classic music reading and very little on piano playing
just like you said, like other apps...
its an icrap app
Yeah, all this on a scrolling tiny screen. Have you ever seen the size of a normal piano partition, let's say Czerny' exercises? You can spend hours studying the first bar of the first exercise in the first page if you wish so, reading real music.
she's not a fan of John Lennon??? this is too sad. :(
This is the comment I was looking for
@@johndoyle4109 i'm nm not gonna sibscribe for this channel...i can't trust someone who don't like lennon
@@a.c.5429 she don't like lennon? i'm not gonna watch this video
why don't you just use music books?
Yep. These apps seem like a whole lot of nothing
@@Slynell1 not all of it is bad the aural section at 7:07 is a good idea. but I find learning from books are a lot faster and better
This seems a very boring way to learn piano compared to Simplypiano and their new beta app. The bugs aren't helping either...
Whos hand on the video yours? Or someone else.? And why can't it be your hands..?
And why can't their be a telliprompter projector on the keys of the real piano in front of you..!? Rediclous all this tech and we can't do that simple thing..!?
John Lennon is a genius
You lost me as soon as you said you were not a fan of Imagine by John Lennon 😪
I gave all him reveiw thumb down as no time does he be explain weather it will work or not, instedd need expensive equipment he doesn't be warning you if thatt in all reveiw he does
😟😰😩😰😰😩😩😩😩😩😧😦😧😧😧😦😧😳😵😶😵😳
TOTAL RUBBISH APP! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY No possibility whatsoever to change the language of the app so DO NOT BOTHER
Four adverts almost in a row, not even 10 seconds of the presenter talking. Disgraceful
As an ex teacher and presenter from England, and if you wish to (as I found travelling through the states) to appreciate that there are more people in the world that speak 'English' than there are Americans - thus please speak slower. I have taught abroad and all over England (ie accents) as such I believe I have a good 'ear' for how people speak but I found it very hard to distinguish between 'midi cord' or 'min cord', I assume you mean midi cord, please confirm. Thank you
A little rude I think. I’m English (Cambridgeshire) and I thought it was perfectly clear. The video was excellent.
WHAT !!.. Wow you are hoping to attract people to your UA-cam and you openly declare you don't think John Lennon is very good. You may be able to play the piano well but you have zero business sense or as we would say in the UK "you have just put you foot in your mouth" and I suggest you look up about Gerald Ratner who when asked how was it possible for his company to be selling a sherry decanter for the amazing price of £4.95, he answered, to the amazement of his audience and his shareholders, the following: “How can you sell this for such a low price?” I say, “because it’s total crap.”
Are you aware that not just musically and lyrics but for influencing, creating and changing the world by Beatles music (ie the youth movement), John with the other three are considered with out doubt the best musician in the 21st Century and easily on par with Beethoven and Mozart.
I have only watched 3 mins of stuff, and you have me in hysterics I wonder what else I will come across next.
I agree that the Beatles were one of the most innovative groups in music ever. I also do not like Imagine….imagine that these two beliefs can exist simultaneously.
@@RasPhi-ed3gp Regarding Imagine, I now much older and certainly no longer retain my very naive and totally unrealities 'hippy' Utopian thinking I strongly had back then, also John Lennon on hearing of his death while driving on a motorway had to pull over due to crying, I have never done that for any other musician and I doubt I very much will. I cried not so much for John but the memories, the friends and places of my youth which the Beatles' music played such an important part of my life.
Now and following John's treatment of the women he knew and his sons, his very rude, arrogant, incredibly selfish and know it all character I doubt very much I would have got on with him.
I also now regard the lyrics of Imagine, complete childish and unrealistic crap :-
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
It is such thinking which very much has led to chaos in the world now, because instead of ACCEPTING our true natures, respecting those differences of each other, not wishing to enforce our instinctive and very much varying beliefs, i.e. religion as with the Muslim faith - this world is in far grater turmoil than ever.
EVEN So, none of this in any way can take away the sheer genius of the Beatles in that all four of them, in regard to the music they brought together in such a short period of time, changed the world and unlike true non-entities such as Taylor Swift and still be listened to for centuries to come. Yesterday, I found out the 11-year-old son of my neighbour had come across Sgt Pepper's and could not just stop playing it, he has just been around (first time) to ask me what should he listen to next. I have the complete catalogue on file and he eyes lit up when I gave him a USB with all 213 songs on.
I still come back to the point that anyone choosing to teach the piano and music is MISSING so much for their students (which I say as an ex teacher from industry) if they declare they don't think John Lennon is not very good. In my world of Maths, it is like saying Newton knew nothing about gravity!
