OF THE MONTH...PERFECT PIANO
Perfect Piano promises
the chime, feel and
charm of the actual
instrument, all at the
touch of your fingers
and small enough to
fit in your pocket. With in-built genuine
piano timbre, it can teach complete
novices how to play piano while
providing hours of amusement.
It has an 88-key piano keyboard,
multiple sound effects, and an easy
sharing function so that others can
appreciate your progress as well. Its
sensitive pressure detection means that
it will always provide the perfect volume
and chime to match your playing style.
What’s more, you can play additional
sounds through plugins which will make
you feel like the conductor of your own
orchestra. The app boasts thousands of
popular music scores to learn from and
refine, left and right hand set up, and
various difficulty adjustments so you can
challenge yourself as you improve.
It’s also perfect for those who want
to learn with friends, with multiplayer
connection capability meaning you can
play the piano with people from all over
the world. You can make new friends, chat
in real time with other users, participate in
weekly new song challenge rankings, and
create guilds of like-minded individuals.
For those with smart pianos at
home, phones and mobile devices can
be plugged in and the app can record
and share your works as you play or
compose. Suitable for both adults and
children, Perfect Piano is a nifty little app
that promises both education and fun.
