Ive been using duolingo for a couple years now. Ive kearned the spanish labguage pretty well at this point. Can speak it casually at all. I dont think duolingo's goal is ever mastery or even useful learning. I think their goal is to give you knowledge of the subject matter and a good jumping off point for more advanced learning.

So is math. It was also added.

[@Brrradden]

In my opinion, it’s supposed to give you an understanding of piano (and maybe other instruments, shit that’d be cool), so you understand basic concepts, rhythms, and notes. Same with the language parts of the app, it only gives you an understanding of the language, and the top priorities when learning (So when you take lessons or classes you understand some of it). Nobody has became fluent with Duolingo, and nobody will become a pianist from Duolingo, it just reinforces that skill, and they are doing that phenomenally.

[@Brrradden]

And to add onto that Duolingo is completely free so it may just open up a career path for someone, which is great in so many ways

[@lime-animates-2763]

They should add a new music course for guitar

[@Helpmegrowmychannelplease]

Have you really said nobody has became fluent with Duolingo? Sorry to break it to you, but I'm a living exemple that if you go far enough on Duolingo, you're definitely going to speak your target language fluently. So yes, Duolingo works, Learned English and Portuguese on Duo. And I must say that so far so good, it's been going quite good for me. Again, if you're consistent enough, you'll get good results. It was a weird app not qualified to teach you a language in the past maybe, but now, it's the best so far.🎉

[@hashdankhog8578]

I think that duolingo moving into other areas is an incredible idea, but if they are going to do so they need to make their math courses and their music courses on par with their language courses, I am a beginner pianist and I skipped straight to the last level which is something I dont think i should be able to do, for their math course them teaching more advanced concepts like algerbra, geometry, or even higher level ones would be an absolute game changer for students studying.

[@Kebnekaise.]

you have some great points I also think that if they plan to expand their music course (bass clef, chords, ornamentation, etc) they should add a MIDI setting that allows you to connect a MIDI keyboard so you don’t have to use the keyboard on the screen I think that would allow the music course to get way more advanced

[@geroutathat]

Yeah but I had never touched a piano, and i messed up all the first lessons couldnt even keep time, but now can. They will be launching a keyboard for it, and then probably release multiple finger lessons etc etc.

[@jenniferm.2142]

It is weird, I agree. I already play piano but tried this app just for fun. The hardest part to wrap my mind around was that you can’t rest your fingers on the keys like you would on a real piano. Makes sight reading much more difficult when you’ve got to check visually for each key instead of just feeling them because your hands are already on them. Still for teaching a new student the notes, I suppose it has it’s place.

[@geroutathat]

yeah but they are releasing a peripheral for it.

[@ElayonTriplet]

Is not the point of it just to make it easier to grasp basic music theory? It isn't a "piano course," after all, it's a music course.

[@imbored457]

I already know how to read and play music, so I’ve been doing the Duolingo version for fun. One of my favorite things is the color coded notes! Cause I like music, and I like colors. It’s great and has been really fun to practice

[@alyanahzoe]

wait... you can play any song i tell you and give me the notes, so that i can play? what about the note guide for one of my favorites: "abadas: i found the word song"? give it a try. if you have a mistake, i will say "wrong. try again!".

[@sj-comps]

i thought music course would be a theory course at first, but it was a playing course.. theory would be way better to teach over an app!

[@buelas.9398]

I just received the new Duolingo keyboard. I can’t wait to try it out.

[@mavensbaseball]

I've been doing it and I think it was good for me to learn the basics of musical notation, something I've always wanted to learn but never have, and it inspired me to buy a real keyboard and learn to play. So, no I don't think when you're done with the course you are ready to play much of anything, but it does serve as a nice intro, much the way their math program is very basic.

[@idklol781]

i need duolingo to just do the ear training exercises and id be on it

[@UnknownState0]

[@RedlightBlue]

Welcome back

[@ComradeRachel]

They sell a Bluetooth keyboard to use with it now but it's kinda expensive .

[@JC20XX]

I've been teaching myself various aspects of music for a whole but sight reading is something I never put time into so I don't mind that everything isn't too advanced.

[@Oceanwaves-d8l]

As someone utterly inexperienced in music but recently tried the app, I figure I'll give some thoughts from a beginner point of view. I disagree that it's hard to translate from app to instrument. Making you use a real instrument would only serve to make it inaccessible for people who are starting out and not sure whether they want to play actual instruments. I don't expect to use muscle memory in these lessons, I expect to use transferable skills such as knowing where the keys are on the piano (e.g. the C note is to the left of a pair of black notes, regardless of whether it's a keyboard on your phone or a real piano) and being able to read written notes.

[@LilyGazou]

Trying to play the keyboard on a phone is hard in the later lessons. It would be helpful to have the sheet music posted somewhere.

[@hagegesamuel]

I've been playing music for 15 years and I always thought it was sad that I couldn't read music sheets. So this course at least taught me that, and also to recognize notes by ear even better. It won't teach you how to make music, but if you want to learn to read a music sheet and locate the notes on a keyboard, it will help you. And that's already something I guess.

[@midnyght_]

I’ve used Duolingo for French, and now I’m learning Spanish, and I already know how to read and play music so I do the music course when I don’t have the brain power for Spanish. It’s great!! I play the alto sax and I’m thinking maybe I could learn how to kinda play the piano from this course, but learning isn’t really the goal lol. I also am not a fan of the small keyboard on your screen, but I don’t have a piano so it works for me! Overall it’s a very fun course and great to keep my streak when I can’t do my Spanish lol

[@Andreas-gh6is]

You can now use a MIDI piano now.

[@themonsters5467]

I could see them adding a piece of hardware like what rocksmith did but with pianos. Chances are people who have an interest in learning piano already have one or plan on buying on.

[@RedlightBlue]

That would be good

[@Anon-jd1ou]

music is a launguage too

[@CauaFriendsOficial]

The music course is actually very cool! I'm doing it every day. It actually has integration with pianos, but sadly, you have to buy the piano THEY made, which is the same price as a switch and it doesn't have much number of keys compared to my STARTER keyboard. They really should have a microphone.

[@benjaminlehman3221]

It’s fun as a nice reminder for myself. I did piano for 7 days as a kid. However playing the songs is WAY harder because you have to use two fingers instead of 10. BIG difference

[@theestradas1041]

It's a free app that aims to give people some mental workouts to kill time rather then doom scrolling social media all day. It's not going to give the same level as actual paid music or language classes. It's free learning and it's great for what it is.

[@zojairam]

If you are already learning a language on Duolingo do not try their music course, is addictive and you’ll forget about the language course.

[@buelas.9398]

I had the same experience!!!😂

[@supermakerraptorgamersgame285]

Personally, i would like that they could like connect to a keyboard via usb or bluetooth, or maybe just enter some kind of free practice mode, or even add songs using some upload special file, so you can play songs you want! But as someone who would like to learn to play a piano, it seems good enough for the basics

[@justinanderson2926]

I think this could be great. As it is, there’s a lot of problems…I tested to level 70 in two days (I’m a professional musician and mediocre piano player) and only at the end of THAT was I actually presented with the song “playing along” feature which is incredibly hard on a phone. 😂 Are people supposed to be doing this on a computer keyboard where they can use more than one or two fingers at a time?? Anyway…hopefully this will gather info for a second generation of the program…

[@Mynoah16]

Good idea, not the best experience. Very cool video, didn’t know this existed

[@Shayne_Mushin]

Its not that different, but the main thing it’s doing is teaching you to sight read

[@Arendvdvenk]

Synthesia + laptop + piano that can handle midi, that's the winning combo to learn to play a fun way.

[@eliplay24]

It's a music theory course, not a piano course. The keyboard in there is just the easiest way applying/showing what you've learned. From what I've seen, the course is made to understand how creating music works, knowing that it isn't random notes and that there's a reason why each note is where it is.

[@geroutathat]

It can work with at least 1 bluetooth keyboard that they are bringing out. But its 250 bucks, I havent access to any bluetooth keyboards/pianos but potentially they can work too. I assume they were waiting until they had their own branded bluetooth piano out before adding in multiple fingers etc. If i had to guess, they have had the keyboard stuck in limbo for a while and didnt give the other lessons but will once its launched, maybe this christmas. It does seem to teach you stuff tho.

[@BenjaminJuegaPro1376]

I feel like they could make a pretty good voice training course for singing notes on duolingo

[@kid_don_401]

Wholeheartedly agree with your point about playing piano on touch screen. I was just saying to my friends, it's my least favorite part of the course. Why can't I connect a USB keyboard to this? Why isn't it on desktop? Once they add these features this will be a much more worthwhile course. Not a terrible start though!

[@Michuelnik]

is there an alternative that works with midi over usb keyboard input on Android? Duolingo obviously doesn't work though the midi connection works fine. 😢

[@ConnorMcSchrosch]

I tried the course, it's a nice idea but I wouldn't recommend it if you actually want to practice or improve in music. That "real time playalong" timing is so off, you play it at the exact moment and it will tell you you're early or late, so you adapt and purposely play it with poor rhytm so it doesn't match with what you hear at all and maybe if you're lucky it will say it's perfect. Oh and that's only if the app doesn't crash in the middle of the song

I dont have the update, but I saw some videos and I think that the lessons are terrible. I expected it to teach music theory like the keys and notes etc(I dont know how they are called as I have learned them in Greek) and the only things of which I saw is just the notes and the sound(of which doesnt have the hier pitch or lower pitch) not even the keys ( κλειδια in greek( Not, Fa, Sol)) it would have been cool if it caught sound from an actual intrument but at the current state, its just terrible.
