Learning to play a piano on your Android means you can practice and learn anywhere and anytime. Practice, after all, is what makes you perfect. Let’s take a look at some of the best Android apps to learn piano and piano notes. We will explore apps for both beginners, like me, and pros like you guys.
1. Simply Piano
Simply Piano is a beautifully designed piano app that was developed with beginners, children, and pros in mind. When you fire up the app for the first time, it will ask you to choose one of the three options. I selected Scratch (beginner) because this is a new hobby for me. Simply Piano will ask whether you have access to a piano or not. If yes, it will show where to place your fingers with guided on-screen text. If not, you will see an interactive piano on your screen that you can play around with. There are a number of courses and popular songs available in the app for you to practice. New lessons with step-by-step guides will unlock as you progress. Note that the app operates on a freemium model but there are no ads. Download Simply Piano
2. MuseScore
While there are apps that will teach you how to play a piano, you also need an app that will help you learn piano notes. This is why MuseScore made the list. An app dedicated to music sheets. You can not only view music notes on sheets but can also listen to it before practicing on your own. The app will allow you to play particular parts or change the tempo (changeable in real time) of the sheet as you desire. MuseScore is a free to use app with no ads whatsoever. The database is searchable and there is a pro version that you can buy for added functionalities like cloud storage, using your own scores, download app scores locally, and metronome compatibility.

3. Yousician
Yousician is a powerful app that will not only teach you how to play a piano but also other instruments like guitar, bass, and Ukulele. Coming back to the piano, Yousician begins with the basics like hand position, posture, and finger movements. You will then learn the musical alphabets and continue to the pro level. When you play the notes on your piano (physical one), the app will automatically recognize it and move forward as you go along. Real-time feedback when you are playing. To do this, you will have to calibrate the app when you launch it for the first time. There are hundreds of instructional videos and exercises to help you learn piano and piano notes. Yousician costs $9.99/month and offers a 7-day trial version. One of the best piano learning apps in the Play Store. Download Yousician
