Musiah – Real Piano Lessons

Aylık yıllık üç yıllık çok para istiyor hiç sevmiyorum bunu çünkü para istiyor ve abonelik oluşmadı çünkü.

The title says it all. We need more Musiah!

During the pandemic I wanted to learn piano and started with YouTube to figure out the finger movements. Then I decided to take actual lesson. I found myself choosing Musiah because the program started with the basics of learning how to read music. It isn’t flashy but that’s the point. I’ve been with Musiah for over a year now and I just completed level 11. My two girls, who are 5 and 7 have started to take an interest and the kids version is outstanding. Try it and you will see.

In short, Musiah makes learning the piano very enjoyable, even relaxing. Highly recommended.

I was very intrigued and excited when I came across Musiah. I was puzzled as to why there is no independent reviews of the app on YouTube or elsewhere. I decided to try it since there was a trial. This app drills in sight reading but it makes the learning process overall very slow and tedious. It’s lacking images of hand placement, music notation screen size is small, for learning many other apps are quick to get you going with sight reading and playing songs. Musiah seems more focused on making things take more time because the instructions aren’t as intuitive as they could be. As hopeful as I was to love Musiah I simply find myself discouraged by it each time I go in for a lesson. I’m also confused as to where the artificial intelligence is really shining, nothing seems to really adapt to you that much unless you make a lot of errors and then it just repeats to you what was wrong with that pretty much like any video game that has boundaries of what’s correct. Overall I think the app has potential but seems unfinished and more about subscription and hype. Where are the independent reviews just try some google searches, the most you will get is some discussions on forums. Update: There is no independent reviews for Musiah except for what the developer has as links to provide? There isn’t any reviews on YouTube except for what is hosted by Musiah’s account. 16 times faster for learning piano where is the proof of that? Over hyped app, removed another star since the constructive criticism is met with outdated sophistry and logical fallacies as to what Artificial Intelligence means. This app could be really great if it actually had artificial intelligence teaching you, but as with the responses it seems more focused on marketing and getting your subscription than you actually learning piano, just learn it 16 times faster!

Wasn’t able to do anything but here the piano in the settings. Make it clear nothing works unless you subscribe. App deleted.

For several months I used an app that was recommended by the Apple Store. As time went on, I felt like I stopped progressing and I was not at a point in my learning the piano that I felt I should have been. The program did not explain things very well and I was not learning the notes on the keyboard. I searched for another app that was better, and I found that in the Musiah app. The Musiah program uses artificial intelligence, and I have to say it’s pretty good. It’s just like having your own personal instructor sitting right next to you. The AI explains things well. If I didn’t understand things the first time, I can play it over until it makes sense to me. The program points out what I am doing wrong and tells me what I need to do to improve. The Musiah app has games that has really helped me to learn the notes on the staff and keyboard. It has helped me learn the music symbols as well as the terminology. This was something I was really needing in the other program. I have been using the Musiah app now for a couple of months and I have aspired to the fourth of 13 levels of learning. I don’t feel stuck anymore. When I am having a hard time playing a piece of music, the program has a practice area that lets me play at my own speed until I can play at a more regular tempo. The program is a great value, considering the cost of having a live instructor, and it offers a lot of support and encouragement both within the app and online. One must be committed to learning to play the piano. Learning takes time, and with the Musiah app it is making the process for me both easier and more enjoyable. Thanks, Brendan, for creating this wonderful program!

This is more of a story about me and how Musiah played a role in restoring a hope I thought was all but dead. I always hoped of being able to learn an instrument and grew up with a seldom used piano in the house. After several traumatic grade school attempts with teachers, I entered life at 18 without being able to play a single song on any instrument. I attempted piano lessons with a local teacher in one of the first towns I lived. I practiced at a local church and I was self-conscious of the childish sounds I was producing; I only practiced there a couple of times. I started using a sheet of paper where I drew piano keys to scale. Although the teacher thought I was doing fine, it was not that satisfying playing on a sheet of paper. I stopped after the second lesson and walked to a nearby music store and bought a cheap classical guitar and a Mel Bay lesson book. For over 40 years I carried that guitar and a small box of necessary paraphernalia. Several times I pulled it out. For a few weeks or months, I would struggle to learn. Nothing more than a couple of songs here or there and eventually I packed it up again. A couple years back in a downsizing event, I sold it at a garage sale to someone that could put it to use. I convinced myself that learning an instrument was a child’s game. Young hands and minds with plenty of time and a lifetime ahead. All hope gone, but a lingering desire remained. I believe one nemesis of my playing was tempo. I had no real issues learning the notes and reading the music, but I struggled when it came to playing at the proper tempo. Fussing with a metronome, I struggled, not really knowing if I played anything at the correct tempo with accurate timing and duration. Stumbling with notes while trying to play at the correct tempo, I never knew for sure when I had learned the song well enough to move on to the next. I soon would hit a wall of discouragement where I saw no improvement and the guitar would just gather dust until I put it away again. 62 years old, and one last attempt. Digital pianos in a digital world, like a word processor to a manual typewriter. Could I find a solution, was there still hope? My research indicated only one learning option that satisfied all my concerns and gave a spark to my dying hope of playing an instrument. That was Musiah. I basically read everything on the Musiah website regarding practice tips, several videos regarding hands and positioning, and many articles of interest. Based on the many r

I’m on level1 lesson 4, Already I’m encouraged this may be “THE “ app. I have been using the Alfred self learning books. So I’m not exactly a beginner. My biggest hurtle is timing. This app actually points out where you played the note and where it should have been played. The accompanying metronomes,very nice. I like how the lessons are structured and the progression. The different keyboard sounds with each lesson is also helpful to develop your ear. I gave it a 4 because the print is just to small. I have to lean to far forward to read the notes and anything else written. It’s not a matter of putting on glasses, the print is just to small. I use a ipad 12.9” and can’t pinch it bigger. It doesn’t matter if it landscape or portrait its to small. Please make the print bigger PLEASE!

I found Musiah when I googled an online Piano lesson for my kids during the Covid lockdown. Since nobody in my family has any background in music, I was not sure how this is going to go. Amazingly, Musiah's approach is so structured and easy to follow that my son (6 years old) immediately fell in love with it. Musiah's instant feedback helped him correct his mistakes on the spot. Also the fact that he can do it at his own pace and whenever he wants to helped him gain his momentum. He was homeschooling because of the Covid pandemic and every time he gets a break from his class, he is at the Piano doing Musiah. He started the lesson 9 months ago and he is now at the final level playing like a pro with his little fingers. I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon Musiah as it is truly amazing. Kudos to the inventor of this software.
