Takes the Hard Parts Out of Learning A New Instrument
I haven’t played an instrument in years, though I’ve been really meaning to pick up something new to learn and try more consistently. Late last year, I was visiting my aunt’s house and found myself at her piano, really wanting to use the few days time that I had then to learn to play. I’d downloaded an app similar to this one for pianos, and *tried*, but found it a bit difficult to adapt to and follow while physically playing the keys. So, I dropped it. And the piano. Figuratively speaking. Now, I’m here with this app, and I find that it’s strengths play to that previous app’s weaknesses. It offers an interactive companion and coach to direct your attention and keep your morale up; there’s an interactive 3D ukulele play-simulator that makes learning all the more focused and immersive and, frankly easier to move through in the initial steps. I’m glad I came in after the update, considering it does also help correct and guide playing in real time now. There’s even a separate AI chat function where you can ask Chordie (the AI coach and mascot) any questions you’d like. I think it’s things like that that really make learning on your own so much less daunting, and more approachable. I also do like the low cost weekly subscriptions, considering I’m not having to make a huge, longer term financial commitment just to unlock the premium features. $7 isn’t a big deal to trade for a week spent learning something. I really like it!
