Can anyone recommend a decent app / site /channel for learning piano?
I asked in the guitar thread a while back, and people recommended the excellent JustinGuitar for guitar, so I'm wondering if anyone knows anything similar for piano/keyboard.
It's for a teen, so having some trendy songs in there to keep interest would be a big bonus.
I was looking at yousician, which seems decent, but the monthly price seems pretty high, and I'm not sure I want to commit to an annual plan on the basis there's a 75% chance they'll get bored and give up within a dew weeks.

I’ve recorded piano which was done by recording each hand separately and looking up chord charts on Google images one at a time which were immediately forgotten lol. So I don’t play piano. But. YouTube actually mullered me for a period with ads for Simply Piano. Here is what Reddit says about that app, basically may be decent for a start but up to a point: www.reddit.com/r/pianolearning/s/TtRF2hngRrIf the YouTube algorithm gets you with the ads after I take no responsibility. Also just generally, and I have no idea of your level, but try to learn some knowledge of the major scale and how to build chords from the notes in it, starting with basic major and minor chords, and then when you have some understanding of that, what chords are in a key and how to make inversions of major and minor triads. That’ll help (with guitar too). If you play guitar, Justin Sandercoe has lessons on his site for all that stuff which can translate. Good luck, if I had the time or patience I’d be right with you as I believe piano is the absolute best instrument for actually learning music. |

Pianote is pretty good, if you can get past some of the unbelievably annoying American accents some of the teachers have. I'd definitely start with major and minor scales and then move to chords, and then to learn left and right hands separately then finally putting it all together. Learning to read music will help immeasurably too. That lets you learn songs relatively easy, plus you can then learn to easy chord movements that tons of pop songs use (i, v,iv, iii etc) |
