3 months ago, I downloaded Simply Piano. After practicing for 10 seconds every day, I am now a certified Piano Grandmaster. I am able to play Flight of the Bumblebee at 300 BPM and sightread Chopin. Blindfolded. I have since opened up a music school at the age of 11, where all I do is make my students do simply piano lessons.
I'm a pianist of 9 years now and actually downloaded Simply Piano to try it out. My summary is, they show you how to hold the tennis racket and how to hit the ball, there's a few things that they do very well. And then once you hit your first tennis ball they say "alright, you're a good tennis player now".
@@Sese_. that wasn't the point of me making that comment... :/ my cousins 6, she's really good at the piano, I wrote that comment since I *misread* it, not because it's weird or unexpected to be a pianist at age 9...
Why is that unrealistic? A anniversary is normally very important to somebody so why is it unrealistic most people would not forget? No hate just a question
As a former piano student, it took me a whole semester to finish John Thompson's first book (in which the pieces in the book are mostly comprised of single notes), and it took me one whole-ass year to perform in public, and it's just me playing Sunrise and Three Blind Mice. Claiming that you can play chords in 3 weeks is like claiming that you can learn and write Japanese kanji in 3 weeks.
Exactly... I have been playing guzheng (for leisure) abt 4-5 years and obviously, I did not nail the techniques overnight. It is ridiculous of the developers who think one can excel in something within short periods of time simply by using their app (esp. given that some learn slower than the others). Learning instruments is more than nailing the scores.
I’m sorry but YOU are just slow at progressing. There is absolutely no way chords are that difficult in your comparison, i’ve taught multiple kids as a jazz pianist, and they can easily play major triads in about 3 weeks, and some can even follow along with a simple melody in the right hand. This is why classical and standardized teaching has brainwashed so many people, tackle concepts head on and you’ll see it’s actually not hard when you don’t fear of failure.
@@Kevin-be9iy First of all, as a jazz player, you should've known that jazz and classical music are two completely different beasts. Jazz are more improv-oriented, while classics are more "uniformed". Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges. One system obviously will not work for another. Second, my time was spent on learning how to sit right, how to press the keys right, how to read the notes, learning all the scales, and all other basic stuff.

I've tried to use Simply Piano after making this comment out of curiosity, and if I can make an analogy, it's like teaching you 9×4=36 without teaching you how to multiply first.

Haevern Yup it’s damn expensive. Also I saw another ad for simply piano saying that a girl has used the app for like 5 months and she can play ANYTHING and ANY SONG she wants. I was like bishhhh that’s becuz your mommm freaking payed for you
Lol so true. This is basically my thought process every morning: "I have a lesson tomorrow. I didn't practice yesterday or the before, and the day before that I practiced for 20 minutes. Well crap."
i was trained in piano for around six years and though i haven't taken lessons since I'm still an intermediate level and it's fun to play. it does not take one week to learn how to read notes on the piano unless you have a background in other instruments. it took me my first week or two to just learn like c and d and i wasn't playing the whole c major scale until like a month in. i didn't start seeing chords for months or sharps and flats until like a year in. i have a musical background and progressed much faster than most people in the classes i was taking, and it still took that long. also my posture and hand position absolutely sucked as a beginner, i needed a teacher to help me get through that. this app is cap
Not lying middle c and the while octave the the right and left took my like a day with the add i promise i'm not lying. I think this app is bad for posture, dynamics etc etc But especially sheet reading is learn super quick with the app
i’m sorry but A YEAR until you played sharps and flats is absurd. I’m a jazz pianist and there is no way i’d wait that long with a student. They can usually tackle chords with sharps and flats 2 months in with no experience. You or your teacher must have really over complicated how hard it is to learn basic concepts.
@@Kevin-be9iy it's been a while, it was at least about a year to really start using sharps and flats in like all the songs i played. i probably used them infrequently before then, but my memory may be hazy
As a pianist, I still remember my first lesson: I was told to make my hand like a claw and practice pressing the keys. I also learned the notes and how to find “middle c” Lesson 2 over a week later I learned my first piece: C D E.. C D E.. C D E D C D C. Took me a lesson between the notes and the timing. 2 weeks to play 3 notes. And only on week 3 was I finally confident enough to play it without my teacher Simply piano? Nah more like, Simply *false information*
As far as I remember, my first piano lesson (59 years ago) was similar to yours. Except that the teacher told me, " Imagine you have an egg under each of your hands. If your fingers are flat on the keys, you will break it. So, curve your fingers so that they touch the egg gently." And after that, my progress was similar to yours despite that I had taken a group lesson of reed organ for two years before I started individual piano lesson. I don't believe in Simply Piano. It must be teaching only simple things and will never make learners proceed to more complex music.
That’s kinda like this thing- Iron Man is the greatest “forever permanently”. Makes no sense, but is the smartest thing I’ve ever heard or read, I guess.
To be fair to the app I spent a couple of months with this. It was really good for learning notes on the staves and is fun to use. However, the way it keeps feeding you music notes without proper timing lessons, posture instructions, nobody to answer questions etc. The app can only take you so far. It is good to help someone decide if piano is something they want to pursue, tutors can be expensive so think of the app more of a easy piano taster session. Thats my view at least. Great video... as always!
Honestly... I actually tried it out just going in blind with no piano knowledge and I was pretty surprised at how much knowledge it gave me though I forgot the next day LOL
I did try this app for a week and it was a good way to get playing, and they do teach posture and hand position almost off the bat, and it was fun to follow along some songs even if VERY simplified. I dont mind it when you cant afford a teacher, cause its hard to self learn without any kind of direction.
On the old guys advertisement, I figured that he bought the piano and the app 5 days ago. How the heck did the wife not notice what he was doing with a piano😂.
Your videos and the jokes through-out had me dying 🤣Ly guys, much love from Switzerland! Also, I've been playing Piano for like a month now and comparing to what you guys are saying gives me a mad confidence boost. I've been doing Vladimir Horowitz stretching exercises and learning to play Clair de Lune by videos, unfortunately I didn't learn how to read notes.. I don't know where to look. I've been looking for a book perhaps or online, but most of the videos on UA-cam are not detailed enough for example when there's a "p, mp, f" below the bar and so on..
@LaFleur I agree with you. I don't think this app was created for people who actually want to become pianists. It's more for people who just want to have fun and play simple pop songs on their keyboard.
Me: plays piano for 7 years 1st week: flat fingers 2nd week: C and D 3rd week: C, D and E Kid: plays piano 1st week: scales and rhythm 2nd week: sightread chords 3rd week: Liszt Transcendental Etude
It’s good to form the fundamentals slowly though, because they are more likely to become ingrained that way. The kid who rushes through everything will have a much harder time later if they practiced into the wrong habits and a not as in-depth understanding of concepts.
@@Fraldale Exactly. The fundamentals aren't easy to get right. Getting the fundamentals wrong will result in a lot of struggling to change the habit in the future. Of course, the encouragement of these ads are good, but realistically it's best to get formal musical education. If you're wanting to learn it as a hobby, go ahead. But if you're aiming to become a world-class pianist, obviously just get the education done right.
My mum plays the piano, she actually took lessons! I was just a stupid person who thought lessons were a waste of time, so, 1 month ago, I asked my mum for Simply Piano. She said yes! And all I did my entire life was play on Simply Piano for 5 seconds every day, and I can now play the world’s hardest pieces at 700 BPM. I can now play Rush E, Fur Elise, and more! I can also fluently read Paganini while I have a rope and cloth tied around my eyes! Now I am nearly 12, so I decided to open up a piano school! All I do there is teach kids to use Simply Piano since apparently piano is too stupid to get lessons from an actual teacher. One of my students has been playing for 2 seconds and he can already play Rush E at 500 BPM and read Bach fluently while blindfolded! Thank you Simply Piano, for making me be too wrapped up around an app instead of a real life lesson.
This is simplypiano logic Day 1: Mary had a little lamb Day 2: fur elise Day 3: moonlight sonata 3rd movement Day 4: la campanella Day 5: hungarian rhapsody 2
Hi I'm a piano student, and I've studied piano for a few years. While still staying in piano gang though, I'm going to take some violin lessons next year. I've only bowed a violin once in my life, but I really wanna do this, and twoset actually showed me the violin and the classical world (which I love now) for the first time, so thank you so much!!
I've been playing the piano for 9 years now and my sister recently began just learning songs she liked. She doesn't used any of these apps and just practices when I'm not home. I can understand that people fall for these ads. They look on the verge of being believable. But I can remember it took me two months before my teacher made me play the left hand. And my sister is not on the level this man had after two weeks. As a beginner there is so much stuff you have to learn that professionals don't think about. For us it's common sense. It's a bit like thinking about walking vs walked. You don't think about it as a 'native speaker' but in the beginning you make a lot of mistakes with it. Same on the piano. Simply piano is believable, until you begin to notice these people don't make enough mistakes. ;)
Day 1: twinkle twinkle little star Day 2: Hungarian rhapsody no. 2 played with feet while blindfolded played backwards while standing on head while reading all of the harry potter books at 50 words per minute and cooking eggs at the same time while playing in styles of symphony, etude, caprice, gigue, rhapsody, and sonata on every single instrument known to man all at once.
Being apart of piano gang for 5 years now, I can indeed confirm that this is very sacrilegious! Sight-reading music is quite difficult, and after many reminders about posture and technique, this has become "easier", but sill, not easy. And I know that I have a lot to improve on, especially having to learn 4 pieces in 7 months for a recital. (currently 2 months in) I am preforming Muzio Clementi Op. 36 No.1 all three movements. (which is very popular among pianists) And some random piece from a performance book 5, Faber. (Mazurka in G Minor, Homage to Chopin) Still, approximately 1 year after taking lessons, I started using Simply Piano. The app was very difficult to use and I really struggled with the note scrolling "thing". I really like Twoset because of their love for classical music, and their humor! Keep it up Brett and Eddy! (side note: if you sing the notes, simply piano won't know the difference and you can cheat the system.)
during lockdown my family got simply piano while I was already having piano lessons, and it honestly doesn't teach you anything but chords and repertoire. I already knew posture and technique from my lessons on the side (at that time I was Grade 2) but it doesn't teach you how to play musically at all. I now only use it because it has a large sheet music collection which is actually really fun for practicing sight reading or to learn. (But for classical music they do sometimes put it in a different key to make it easier which drives me crazy)
I’ve actually decided to go for it and get it and one of the first things it teaches you is how to read sheet music and play along, I’m a pianist but just never bothered with sheet music and just always used midi instead and I won’t lie I can sight read a simple piece after about a week of using the app everyday for about 20-30 mins
Hi! My name is Jason. This is what I’ve done in the first three days. Day 1. Hot crossed buns. Day 2. Mary had a little lamb. Day 3. Chopin-Etude op. 25 no. 11.
I play piano for about 3-4 years now and I can say Simply Piano can teach you. I started using the app like 2 years ago and I learnt how to play sheet music because back then I only practice songs that I found on UA-cam without reading notes at all but on simply piano I learned how to play few chords too and improved my sight reading. I think it depends on person tbh
I started simply piano tonight and can already play, many songs. I do singing so it’s a major help, with the right potential and courses and songs it makes it so much easier and I’m already a premium member I would say it’s really fun and easy, if u know a few things or 2
I’m a pianist. Have played for a few years now, and hours everyday. I completely agree, no app could teach you to play that well in one day. Typically, yes, you only use your first finger and you usually don’t understand which notes are which quite yet.
@@TheReferrer72 I have been using simply piano for a month and I can play at the level they showed in that video, with a sheet they provide. I have no musical background, never had a teacher.
@Meme_boi69 XD lol dont get to big for your britches. it's not what pieces you can play, it's the technique and position that matters to me. I'm a cellist and say I can play the hardest song in history but i dont sound good and my position is bad. exactly. any person can read notes. I doubt that you can play fur elise with effortless tone and perfect timing. sure you'll get better tho :D
If you would actually know how to play piano then you would know that his hands are playing the right notes, but I doubt you know anything about piano or what the hell the kid is even showing you, make sure you can prove what you comment
@@IAmNotHim97 his hand is hitting the correct key but the sounds lags so much, maybe the microphone is 1mile away to pick up the sound. we all know that light travels faster than sound, right?
曾其威 Thank you, I didn’t pay too much attention to if the keys were correct, but I could definitely tell that the sound wasn’t syncing up with the visual.
Loll, I also hate getting the ads dude, I get them like every video, it’s sooooo annoying, please tell me I’m not the only one with this problem too lol
The ad came up when my piano teacher was trying to show me how my piece sounded like, he was so annoyed about it and complained for like 5 mins of the lesson 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe when i wanted to play the piano. I saw this app too. I tried it. It learned me the basics. And. I got into a small song. I tried for days!! It didn't work!
Im an actress and got a mail of them. They wanted me in one of their commercials, the mail literally said: need to play piano good. So all those people in the commercials are pianists...
As a pianist I can confirm it took my teacher at least two years to drill proper wrist posture in for me. No way someone just stumbles into perfect fingering and posture, let alone comfortable sightreading. As anyone who learns to read music knows, it's an entirely new langauge that takes time to develop fluency in
Im a pianist, and I tried simply piano before I had a teacher. It does tell you about the hand posture but very briefly. And the ad does kinda exaggerate how fast you can learn piano.(I'm basing it on the free version idk about the Premium.(It gives you like a into on paino)
I used to be a piano teacher (for beginners, my best pieces is the 2nd movement of the Moonlight Sonata) and can definitely say that it takes gifted students longer than a few days to learn those pieces. The shortest time someone has made it to that type of Ode to Joy was a little over a month, with most taking at least a couple of months, and the curriculum I used hadn’t even taught the staff yet (Piano Adventures). The kid playing block chords after a few weeks is a bit absurd - it usually takes about a year for a gifted student and two years for most students. Even so, if this app is actually getting people into playing piano, that would be great - long gone are the days when every child was expected to learn an instrument.
I used it, the first ad is genuinely accurate. And it does teach hand posture and proper form etc. After 4 weeks I learn major and minor triads, symphonies, octaves, flats and sharps. It’s just the progression of the app and if you’re willing to sit down for 3-4 hours a day and go through the lessons, and repeat when you make mistakes you can really pick up the fundamentals quickly
Also, a real piano teacher will teach the notes and chords first, and then how to locate it on sheet music. But simply piano uses sheets to tell you which note to play. So as you learn the notes you also learn the location they have on the lines
As a pianist who's seen this ad many a times i wanted to see wtf was going on. So i downloaded it, used it for 10 minutes, then uninstalled it right away. I have never been so grateful for my piano teacher. Edit: HOLY GUACAMOLE THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I'VE EVER GOTTEN... THANKS!
Fara S That is fine depending on what people want. Some people don’t need to learn it the right way, they just want to play their favorite song, but to be an actual pianist it’s gonna take studying and work that a teacher has done and can pass on in a way that no app will ever do.
@@brendancappon8858 yeah, and people who use the app are obviously those who want to play for fun, for stress relief, or just be able to play basic classical pieces that they want. It's a decent app for a beginner who doesn't want to play seriously. There's really no need for twoset and fans to purposely downplay an app that is accessible for all ages, and go out of their way to criticize it when the app did not even claim it can teach you to be classical pianist or something. Some twoset fans have this holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to stuff like these, and they tend to be rude to people with no musical background. And twoset posting a video roasting an app/ad that's totally harmless is just ridiculous imo. My friend uses simplypiano for fun and when this video came out, he said he feels embarrassed for using it after reading the comments. This kind of environment that discredits people who are using various methods to learn and make them feel ashamed is just a bit disgusting.
See the progress of the boy in the ad, 22 months after starting with SP including description of his journey! It’s sad people are judging over someone they don’t know and something they have never used. Who starts to play the piano with the goal to become a concert pianist? ua-cam.com/video/gbFTexsyJhw/v-deo.html
@@kevinhartmemes3821 i think it's because of the fact that the app advertises learning the piano- not just a single song- in such a short period of time. if it advertised helping you learn a song in two weeks without prior knowledge of playing the piano, sure, that's definitely possible. playing the piano requires training the hands to stay in the correct posture, training the feet to get used to the pedals, sight reading, and lots of other things that need way more than two weeks to learn. basically, it's just sucky advertising lol
Lola Keynes exactly! I was a dumb 7 year old and it said free trial and I thought it was free for a week. I was tricked to buy $110 dollars for one trial. I think I was really mature when I was young and the reason why was I just started a few months ago before I saw the ad and I wanted to get good fast to make my parents proud and that did *not* happen. A few years after that I quit.
Yeah! I mean first of all, 1. How did he get the password to his MUM’s iPad? 2. Why does his mum have the app already? 3. If he downloaded it, would his mum or his parents buy an actual piano just because he found the app?
@tiikar I mean look at the setup. Obviously its meant to be "hey I have zero musical knowledge whatsoever". Also, big difference between reading and playing. I stopped practicing for a year, and when I tried to sightread a relatively simple movie soundtrack, I thought it would be simple, when I just looked at it. Then I tried to play it, and I was absolute trash.
When I first learnt my instrument, I marked the notes on the music sheets because I couldn't memorise them, it was hard for me to read the black dots as I didn't learn music before, these ads seem so fake!
Our family have been using the App for a few months now. That second AD is hilarious! Just to answer a couple of your in-video questions; my kids wake me up at 6am fighting over it! Not just the first week either, 6-weeks later its still going on. And yeah they do play that fast, with two hands as quickely as it claims. To give you some idea, after a month of playing with this App im reading and writing sheet music (it covers some theory but not as much as I want). But its all about your input. You get enough info to research a lot of theory for yourself I guess. It teaches you the hand positions etc too, but you have to be diciplined. I have to tell my kids to stop doing bad techniques all the time (based on what I've learnt from the App). You've certainly inspired me to get a teacher though. I think in tandem this might be a good combo.
I remember i thought how cool i was when i played my first piece on the piano using both hands at the same time lol (and im pretty sure it was quite more than a month after starting to learn)
As someone who had learned from Simply Piano for about 2 years, I would like to share a list of pros and cons that I found after starting to learn the violin. (I don't play piano anymore, but I do plan on continuing soon) Pros: teaches names for notes/chords Very fast paced Teaches you how to sight read quickly Teaches utmost basics Might be a good way to "dip your toes" into the world of piano Cons: probability 95% of pieces you can play are accompanies for pop songs Doesn't teach posture Doesn't review note/chord names Doesn't teach time/key signatures Doesn't go into the more professional level of learning Doesn't teach harmony, rhythm, or accents Doesn't teach different hand positions

Facts
To be fair to the app I spent a couple of months with this.
It was really good for learning notes on the staves and is fun to use.
However, the way it keeps feeding you music notes without proper timing lessons, posture instructions, nobody to answer questions etc. The app can only take you so far.
It is good to help someone decide if piano is something they want to pursue, tutors can be expensive so think of the app more of a easy piano taster session.
Thats my view at least.
Great video... as always!
Honestly... I actually tried it out just going in blind with no piano knowledge and I was pretty surprised at how much knowledge it gave me though I forgot the next day LOL

I did try this app for a week and it was a good way to get playing, and they do teach posture and hand position almost off the bat, and it was fun to follow along some songs even if VERY simplified.

Your videos and the jokes through-out had me dying 🤣Ly guys, much love from Switzerland!
Also, I've been playing Piano for like a month now and comparing to what you guys are saying gives me a mad confidence boost. I've been doing Vladimir Horowitz stretching exercises and learning to play Clair de Lune by videos, unfortunately I didn't learn how to read notes.. I don't know where to look. I've been looking for a book perhaps or online, but most of the videos on UA-cam are not detailed enough for example when there's a "p, mp, f" below the bar and so on..
This app: *learn piano in 4 weeks!*
Me, after 5 years of piano lessons: *I was so stupid...*
Lillian Choi That’s what we all thought 😔
@LaFleur
I agree with you. I don't think this app was created for people who actually want to become pianists. It's more for people who just want to have fun and play simple pop songs on their keyboard.

It’s good to form the fundamentals slowly though, because they are more likely to become ingrained that way. The kid who rushes through everything will have a much harder time later if they practiced into the wrong habits and a not as in-depth understanding of concepts.

But if you're aiming to become a world-class pianist, obviously just get the education done right.
My mum plays the piano, she actually took lessons! I was just a stupid person who thought lessons were a waste of time, so, 1 month ago, I asked my mum for Simply Piano. She said yes! And all I did my entire life was play on Simply Piano for 5 seconds every day, and I can now play the world’s hardest pieces at 700 BPM. I can now play Rush E, Fur Elise, and more! I can also fluently read Paganini while I have a rope and cloth tied around my eyes! Now I am nearly 12, so I decided to open up a piano school! All I do there is teach kids to use Simply Piano since apparently piano is too stupid to get lessons from an actual teacher. One of my students has been playing for 2 seconds and he can already play Rush E at 500 BPM and read Bach fluently while blindfolded! Thank you Simply Piano, for making me be too wrapped up around an app instead of a real life lesson.

Hi
I'm a piano student, and I've studied piano for a few years. While still staying in piano gang though, I'm going to take some violin lessons next year. I've only bowed a violin once in my life, but I really wanna do this, and twoset actually showed me the violin and the classical world (which I love now) for the first time, so thank you so much!!
I've been playing the piano for 9 years now and my sister recently began just learning songs she liked. She doesn't used any of these apps and just practices when I'm not home.
I can understand that people fall for these ads. They look on the verge of being believable. But I can remember it took me two months before my teacher made me play the left hand. And my sister is not on the level this man had after two weeks. As a beginner there is so much stuff you have to learn that professionals don't think about. For us it's common sense.
It's a bit like thinking about walking vs walked. You don't think about it as a 'native speaker' but in the beginning you make a lot of mistakes with it. Same on the piano.
Simply piano is believable, until you begin to notice these people don't make enough mistakes. ;)

Yep, that sounds like Ling Ling
Being apart of piano gang for 5 years now, I can indeed confirm that this is very sacrilegious! Sight-reading music is quite difficult, and after many reminders about posture and technique, this has become "easier", but sill, not easy. And I know that I have a lot to improve on, especially having to learn 4 pieces in 7 months for a recital. (currently 2 months in) I am preforming Muzio Clementi Op. 36 No.1 all three movements. (which is very popular among pianists) And some random piece from a performance book 5, Faber. (Mazurka in G Minor, Homage to Chopin) Still, approximately 1 year after taking lessons, I started using Simply Piano. The app was very difficult to use and I really struggled with the note scrolling "thing". I really like Twoset because of their love for classical music, and their humor! Keep it up Brett and Eddy!
(side note: if you sing the notes, simply piano won't know the difference and you can cheat the system.)
during lockdown my family got simply piano while I was already having piano lessons, and it honestly doesn't teach you anything but chords and repertoire. I already knew posture and technique from my lessons on the side (at that time I was Grade 2) but it doesn't teach you how to play musically at all. I now only use it because it has a large sheet music collection which is actually really fun for practicing sight reading or to learn. (But for classical music they do sometimes put it in a different key to make it easier which drives me crazy)
Day One:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Day two:

I used to be a piano teacher (for beginners, my best pieces is the 2nd movement of the Moonlight Sonata) and can definitely say that it takes gifted students longer than a few days to learn those pieces. The shortest time someone has made it to that type of Ode to Joy was a little over a month, with most taking at least a couple of months, and the curriculum I used hadn’t even taught the staff yet (Piano Adventures). The kid playing block chords after a few weeks is a bit absurd - it usually takes about a year for a gifted student and two years for most students.
Even so, if this app is actually getting people into playing piano, that would be great - long gone are the days when every child was expected to learn an instrument.
I used it, the first ad is genuinely accurate. And it does teach hand posture and proper form etc. After 4 weeks I learn major and minor triads, symphonies, octaves, flats and sharps. It’s just the progression of the app and if you’re willing to sit down for 3-4 hours a day and go through the lessons, and repeat when you make mistakes you can really pick up the fundamentals quickly
Also, a real piano teacher will teach the notes and chords first, and then how to locate it on sheet music. But simply piano uses sheets to tell you which note to play. So as you learn the notes you also learn the location they have on the lines
Plot twist: The kid can't play the piano without the app.

Fara S That is fine depending on what people want. Some people don’t need to learn it the right way, they just want to play their favorite song, but to be an actual pianist it’s gonna take studying and work that a teacher has done and can pass on in a way that no app will ever do.
@@brendancappon8858 yeah, and people who use the app are obviously those who want to play for fun, for stress relief, or just be able to play basic classical pieces that they want. It's a decent app for a beginner who doesn't want to play seriously. There's really no need for twoset and fans to purposely downplay an app that is accessible for all ages, and go out of their way to criticize it when the app did not even claim it can teach you to be classical pianist or something.
Some twoset fans have this holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to stuff like these, and they tend to be rude to people with no musical background. And twoset posting a video roasting an app/ad that's totally harmless is just ridiculous imo. My friend uses simplypiano for fun and when this video came out, he said he feels embarrassed for using it after reading the comments.
This kind of environment that discredits people who are using various methods to learn and make them feel ashamed is just a bit disgusting.

@@kevinhartmemes3821 i think it's because of the fact that the app advertises learning the piano- not just a single song- in such a short period of time. if it advertised helping you learn a song in two weeks without prior knowledge of playing the piano, sure, that's definitely possible. playing the piano requires training the hands to stay in the correct posture, training the feet to get used to the pedals, sight reading, and lots of other things that need way more than two weeks to learn.

Day 1: already knows how to read notes
@tiikar I mean look at the setup. Obviously its meant to be "hey I have zero musical knowledge whatsoever". Also, big difference between reading and playing. I stopped practicing for a year, and when I tried to sightread a relatively simple movie soundtrack, I thought it would be simple, when I just looked at it. Then I tried to play it, and I was absolute trash.
It's not that he can read notes. The app tells you wich key to hit, when, with wich finger, etc...
I have been playing violin for 3 years and still have trouble reading notes
I learned to read sheet music on my first day at piano class, but each note was delivered with like a 5 beat measurement
When I first learnt my instrument, I marked the notes on the music sheets because I couldn't memorise them, it was hard for me to read the black dots as I didn't learn music before, these ads seem so fake!
Our family have been using the App for a few months now. That second AD is hilarious! Just to answer a couple of your in-video questions; my kids wake me up at 6am fighting over it! Not just the first week either, 6-weeks later its still going on. And yeah they do play that fast, with two hands as quickely as it claims. To give you some idea, after a month of playing with this App im reading and writing sheet music (it covers some theory but not as much as I want). But its all about your input. You get enough info to research a lot of theory for yourself I guess. It teaches you the hand positions etc too, but you have to be diciplined. I have to tell my kids to stop doing bad techniques all the time (based on what I've learnt from the App). You've certainly inspired me to get a teacher though. I think in tandem this might be a good combo.
I remember i thought how cool i was when i played my first piece on the piano using both hands at the same time lol (and im pretty sure it was quite more than a month after starting to learn)

As someone who had learned from Simply Piano for about 2 years, I would like to share a list of pros and cons that I found after starting to learn the violin. (I don't play piano anymore, but I do plan on continuing soon)
Pros: teaches names for notes/chords
Very fast paced
Teaches you how to sight read quickly
Teaches utmost basics
Might be a good way to "dip your toes" into the world of piano
Cons: probability 95% of pieces you can play are accompanies for pop songs
Doesn't teach posture
Doesn't review note/chord names
Doesn't teach time/key signatures
Doesn't go into the more professional level of learning
Doesn't teach harmony, rhythm, or accents
Doesn't teach different hand positions
so basically no music theory at all, but it gets you touching the white thingy things
@@adg9042 Exactly!
At the start they said imagine if there’s a simply piano add and I immediately got a simply piano ad halfway through.😂
