Flowkey

If you've been bitten by the piano bug but don't have the time or money to go to private lessons every week, there are several alternatives on the market to bring a virtual teacher to your living room. YouTube videos can be used to start liking it, but if you are looking for something more specific and complete, it is best to look for a service like Flowkey La application has been updated with all courses and content in SpanishA step forward to make the process of learning to play the piano easier and faster. We tell you the main keys to this app and web platform that can be downloaded for free but has a cost of 120 euros per year if you want to access all its functions

There is no doubt that having all the content in Spanish is a very important step forward for Flowkey. Especially in the course section. In this tool we have more than 60 courses divided into various themes: to play with both hands, to play scales, to learn to read music or to master chords … Each of the courses has practical lessons that are easy to follow and are generally entertaining.

Apart from the courses, we have a selection of more than 2,000 songs to learn There won't be all the ones you like, but Yes, you will find a good number of mythical themes from different disciplines, both pop songs and pieces of classical music, soundtrack themes or popular songs. In the time I've been tinkering with the app I've been hooked songs like My Immortal by Evanescence, the main theme of The Pirates of the Caribbean or Apologize by OneRepublic

In all cases, the mode that I am liking the most is the standby mode With this mode you will see both the sheet music of the song such as the positions of the fingers of the hands and the keys that have to be pressed. Each time these keys are pressed correctly, it moves on to the following ones. In this way, the learning of the song goes at the rhythm that we mark.To recognize that the correct keys are played, there are two options: through the microphone of the mobile or PC or through MIDI (using a USB cable). In my experience so far I strongly recommend this second option, since the first one produces more reception errors and depends a lot on the quality of the microphone.
