Drop in a music file and the app takes it from there. It works out which notes belong to your left hand and which to your right, cuts the piece into short fragments, and teaches you one fragment at a time. Here is what that looks like.
Open the appFour recordings, in the order you meet the app: opening a file, playing along, practising one hand, and working through the piece bit by bit.
You drop a file on the screen and the app reads it while you watch. Notes appear on the staff as it finds them: the low ones in blue for your left hand, the high ones in orange for your right. Those two colours come back everywhere in the app, so you always know which hand a note belongs to.
The notes come down towards the keyboard. Play one at the right moment and the key lights up and the note fades, so you can see at a glance what you already got. In this recording the app plays the piece itself, so you can see what a clean run looks like: eighteen notes right, nothing missed.
Two little hands sit in the corner, one blue and one orange. Click one and only that hand is left on screen. Click it again and both come back. Handy when one hand runs ahead of the other.
The app cuts the piece into short fragments of a few bars. You take one fragment at a time: first the left hand, then the right, then both together, and each round a little faster. The card keeps track of what you already have.
The same views, standing still.
The same two colours run through the whole app: the notes, the keys, the practice steps. Both colours lit means you are playing with both hands. Pick one and it fills in, so you can see in a second which hand you are working on.
