TL;DR: Learn piano with a 5-year flowkey Classic subscription, now $79.99 (reg. $899).
Learning piano online is a lot harder than it looks. Instead of trying to figure out music theory from a random YouTube video, try a more bespoke method. flowkey is a digital piano teacher that listens to you play and gives live feedback. A 5-year subscription is also on sale for only $79.99.
flowkey listens to you play through a microphone or a MIDI connection and tells you right away which notes you got right. A book of sheet music can’t do that. In Wait Mode, a song pauses until you hit the correct note, so you never fall behind. Hard passages are easier to learn with slow motion, a loop button, and separate practice for each hand. Every lesson also shows a video of a pianist on the same screen as the sheet music.
This plan comes with more than 1,000 classical and public-domain songs by composers like Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, and Mozart. Each song has Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pro arrangements, so you can start with an easy version and come back to a harder one as you improve. You also get every flowkey course, with lessons on music theory, chords, reading sheet music, and hand position.
You can use flowkey on as many devices as you want. Mac users who want to connect a MIDI keyboard should use Chrome or another supported browser, because Safari only detects notes through the microphone. Current flowkey subscribers can redeem this code once their existing plan expires.
