Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Beginner and Easy?
Beginner songs are the absolute starting point — usually 3 chords, very slow tempo, hands stay in one position. Easy songs add a bit more variety: 4–6 chords, slightly faster tempo, occasional hand movement. Both work without prior music reading.
How many songs should I learn before moving on?
Most learners feel ready for the next level after 5–10 beginner songs. The signal you're ready: you can play through a song hands-together without pausing to look at the screen.
I've never touched a piano. Can I really start with these?
Yes. The beginner mode shows you exactly which key to press, color-coded by hand. You don't need to know note names, time signatures, or anything else — just press the highlighted keys in time with the music.
What kind of piano or keyboard do I need?
Any keyboard with at least 61 keys works for nearly every beginner song. A full 88-key piano gives you more range but isn't required to get started.
