It’s good to form the fundamentals slowly though, because they are more likely to become ingrained that way. The kid who rushes through everything will have a much harder time later if they practiced into the wrong habits and a not as in-depth understanding of concepts.

Lillian Choi That’s what we all thought 😔

I mean... it depends on which level you want to stop and be like... okay, I can play the piano now. Pop song aren´t that hard, especially if you only play the intrumental part and don´t add the notes for singing. Besides the posture-and-all thing it is realistic to learn how to play popsongs on the piano as an adult, maybe not as a child but just because you´ve never played an intrument doesn´t mean you don´t know rhythm. Reading notes, I mean definetly not sightreading but I think you can very slowly go through the song and learn it step by step and then just use it for orientation, if you do this I think reading the notes is improving.(At least if it´s a really good app) Of course it won´t teach you those superpower-classical-pianist skills.

As a former piano student, it took me a whole semester to finish John Thompson's first book (in which the pieces in the book are mostly comprised of single notes), and it took me one whole-ass year to perform in public, and it's just me playing Sunrise and Three Blind Mice.

It is ridiculous of the developers who think one can excel in something within short periods of time simply by using their app (esp. given that some learn slower than the others). Learning instruments is more than nailing the scores.

[@Kevin-be9iy]

I’m sorry but YOU are just slow at progressing. There is absolutely no way chords are that difficult in your comparison, i’ve taught multiple kids as a jazz pianist, and they can easily play major triads in about 3 weeks, and some can even follow along with a simple melody in the right hand. This is why classical and standardized teaching has brainwashed so many people, tackle concepts head on and you’ll see it’s actually not hard when you don’t fear of failure.

[@BlueV205]

@@Kevin-be9iy First of all, as a jazz player, you should've known that jazz and classical music are two completely different beasts. Jazz are more improv-oriented, while classics are more "uniformed". Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges. One system obviously will not work for another. Second, my time was spent on learning how to sit right, how to press the keys right, how to read the notes, learning all the scales, and all other basic stuff. I know that it took a long time (one of the reasons I quit and switch to guitar), but in hindsight, it taught me on how to break down the pieces, understand how it works and how it was supposed to play out. I've tried to use Simply Piano after making this comment out of curiosity, and if I can make an analogy, it's like teaching you 9×4=36 without teaching you how to multiply first.

[@Kevin-be9iy]

@@BlueV205 chords are in both jazz and classical, as well as reading sheet music so a comparison in this context is appropriate. my main issue was your comment on chords which you said way too broadly, it would have been better if you specified it was a reference to classical then it’s believable, but still far fetched. And i’m not advocating for simply piano at all it’s horrible, i just saw your comment and don’t want others to think chords are that far out of reach the way you mentioned them.

i was trained in piano for around six years and though i haven't taken lessons since I'm still an intermediate level and it's fun to play. it does not take one week to learn how to read notes on the piano unless you have a background in other instruments. it took me my first week or two to just learn like c and d and i wasn't playing the whole c major scale until like a month in. i didn't start seeing chords for months or sharps and flats until like a year in. i have a musical background and progressed much faster than most people in the classes i was taking, and it still took that long. also my posture and hand position absolutely sucked as a beginner, i needed a teacher to help me get through that. this app is cap

However, the way it keeps feeding you music notes without proper timing lessons, posture instructions, nobody to answer questions etc. The app can only take you so far.

I've been playing the piano for 9 years now and I can tell you that the posture is the most important thing of all when playing the piano. Without the correct sitting technique and hand posture, you just slam the keys down instead of laying pressure from your arm. The little boy in the beginning had terrible posture and he wouldn't have been able to play any harder pieces than that due to bad posture and incorrect technique. The older man after the little boy had correct posture from day 1, which is definitely not something you learn by yourself the first 10 minutes.

There's really no need for twoset and fans to purposely downplay an app that is accessible for all ages, and go out of their way to criticize it when the app did not even claim it can teach you to be classical pianist or something. Some twoset fans have this holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to stuff like these, and they tend to be rude to people with no musical background. And twoset posting a video roasting an app/ad that's totally harmless is just ridiculous imo.

My mum plays the piano, she actually took lessons! I was just a stupid person who thought lessons were a waste of time, so, 1 month ago, I asked my mum for Simply Piano. She said yes! And all I did my entire life was play on Simply Piano for 5 seconds every day, and I can now play the world’s hardest pieces at 700 BPM. I can now play Rush E, Fur Elise, and more! I can also fluently read Paganini while I have a rope and cloth tied around my eyes! Now I am nearly 12, so I decided to open up a piano school! All I do there is teach kids to use Simply Piano since apparently piano is too stupid to get lessons from an actual teacher. One of my students has been playing for 2 seconds and he can already play Rush E at 500 BPM and read Bach fluently while blindfolded!

I used to be a piano teacher (for beginners, my best pieces is the 2nd movement of the Moonlight Sonata) and can definitely say that it takes gifted students longer than a few days to learn those pieces. The shortest time someone has made it to that type of Ode to Joy was a little over a month, with most taking at least a couple of months, and the curriculum I used hadn’t even taught the staff yet (Piano Adventures). The kid playing block chords after a few weeks is a bit absurd - it usually takes about a year for a gifted student and two years for most students. Even so, if this app is actually getting people into playing piano, that would be great - long gone are the days when every child was expected to learn an instrument.

[@moonfrog9635]

I saw a Simply Piano ad while watching this and I just thought is was part of the video 😂

[@zipporahwillemse2079]

Hey guys! I am piano teacher and I can totally confirm, it does not take 3 weeks to learn how to play chords. Normally it take a couple of terms at least. If the student is very gifted, maybe one term. I cringe most though, because the app does not teach you correct posture at all. It is very soul-destroying. And that second ad, his posture was far to perfect for a beginner. You are totally right, beginners normally have their wrists down and their fingers flat. Also they struggle to play each note separately, rather they will normally press two at once, because they are still learning finger control and strength. These ads are so cringe worthy!!!

[@dylan-j-gerrits]

I don't totally agree. I started to learn a week ago with different app' including this one. I practice quite a lot, and I can already play what they show in the video as "Week 4" with the help of the app'.

learned Piano for 5 years: 'teachers still mad aout hand position day 1: 'PeRfEcT hAnD pOsItIoN' HmMmMmMmMmMm

[@IAmNotHim97]

Icy Phoenix yes, the app can help you better than a lot of teachers can without them being mad at you, the reason you probably can’t do hand positions still is because of your teacher always pushing you to do something hard for the first time, but with simply piano it starts off slow, showing what you need to do, when you need to do it, and even a video explaining what it is that you’re about to learn

[@_Palatis]

@@IAmNotHim97 for someone first time playing a piano, they don't even know what the correct posture is. I would be surprised if they got it right the first time with just some video tutorials. its like the first time you see a pair of chopsticks and know how to use them immediately without no-one tells you how...

[@IAmNotHim97]

My dad has to teach me to use chopsticks, no one is born knowing how to do shit, you need to be taught something in order for you to know how to do it, the app does exactly that

[@_Palatis]

@@IAmNotHim97 i have no idea, but the second guy (the 20th anniversary guy) did it on the first day too well. its pretty much a textbook posture, and its really hard to remind yourself to keep the correct posture when you are a noob and trying to sightread the score and looking for the correct key on the keyboard and be having a good posture all at the same time. this requires lots of practice and many piano players (I wouldn't call myself a pianist cuz I'm so amature) who learned piano for years still suffer. from a certain perspective, encouraging people from learning a musical instrument is good, but not with false advertisement.

[@IAmNotHim97]

It’s not false advertisement, this app is a miracle worker, I’m not some person who SimplyPiano payed to say this, I started as a noob and I’m learning very easily, with a teacher they tell something in one ear then it flies out of the other, with the app, it stays in your head

[@fantomhalo3938]

As someone who had learned from Simply Piano for about 2 years, I would like to share a list of pros and cons that I found after starting to learn the violin. (I don't play piano anymore, but I do plan on continuing soon) Pros: teaches names for notes/chords Very fast paced Teaches you how to sight read quickly Teaches utmost basics Might be a good way to "dip your toes" into the world of piano Cons: probability 95% of pieces you can play are accompanies for pop songs Doesn't teach posture Doesn't review note/chord names Doesn't teach time/key signatures Doesn't go into the more professional level of learning Doesn't teach harmony, rhythm, or accents Doesn't teach different hand positions
