3 Best Iphone And Ipad Apps For Piano
Drumming Machines, such as the Roland DR-5, have been found in many home and pro recording studios for the past decade or more. When MIDI came out and became more affordable those same studios began investing in the technology to create multiple instruments from one keyboard such as the piano, strings and horns, now the iPad, iPhone and Android powered mobile devices are giving you a digital piano right at your finger tips.
This post will share the top 3 piano apps for Iphone OS devices that will turn your small pocket iPod or Phone into a full fledged keyboard to play, practice or even write music on.
Pianist
Without question Pianist is the best app available for Piano. I recently saw someone play a piano solo as part of a pand using the app on live national TV. With Pianist you can view an entire keyboard or zoom in to just 2 octaves of keys.
The piano sound is perfect and the iPad version even has a built in sample drum beat machine to create percussion tracks to play along with.
Magic Piano
This is more of a fun based piano application. You can play piano in a variety of ways with the app it’s main focus i fun features that make it challenging or entertaining for a younger crowd. Fun features like a spiral piano make this application great for youngsters as well.
Virtuoso Piano
This piano app is similar to Pianist that it gives you an actual piano to play with. There’s both a free and paid version of this app available so you can try before you buy.
These three applications and literally hundreds of others are making music creation and play easy on mobile devices. Where will the piano app market go from here? Hard to say. One thing is for sure, to make the most of the higher end piano apps you should have some basic knowledge of how to play piano, but maybe in the future you’ll be able to do that on these devices as well.
What if you can’t play the piano yet? Consider trying a DVD piano lessons? These self study piano courses likeLearn & Mater Piano are quickly becoming the method of choice for adults to learn the instrument on their own terms and for less money then private lessons.
