Keyglow
Play any song. As you learn, the glow fades into real notes.
Learn real piano skills. Practise your own music. Pay once.
Glowing notes fall onto the keys, so you play songs you like from the very first day. Step by step the glow fades, until you are reading real sheet music. On iPad and iPhone, with a MIDI keyboard, your piano through the microphone, or the keys on screen.
From glowing blocks to sheet music
Every song can be played in four steps. Start where it feels easy; Keyglow suggests the next step when you are ready.
-
1
Glow
Falling blocks with letters. Just follow the light.
-
2
Glow + Notes
The notes appear on the staff as you play. Letters only when you're stuck.
-
3
Notes First
Read the staff first. The blocks are only a faint glow.

Only Notes
Just the sheet music. The glow has faded into real notes.
If a step gets too hard, the glow comes back only in the bars you missed. Stars are earned per step, so letting go of the glow is how you collect more of them.
Made for real practice
Everything you need to go from your first song to reading music, without a teacher looking over your shoulder.
It hears exactly what you play
Connect a digital piano or keyboard with a USB cable or Bluetooth MIDI, and every note, chord and soft touch counts. On time, early or late, and wrong note are shown separately, so the right note is never marked wrong.
No keyboard cable? Use the microphone
Play an acoustic piano and Keyglow listens through the microphone, one note at a time. The sound is analysed on your device and never recorded. No instrument at all? Play on the big keys on screen.
Your own songs
Open any MIDI or MusicXML file and Keyglow splits it into right and left hand for you. Transpose it, pick the parts to play, and keep it: songs you import never disappear.
Wait for me, or play along
In Wait for Me the song stops until you find the right keys. Play Along keeps the beat. Practise one hand at a time, slow the tempo, loop a passage and add a count-in and metronome.
A coach for the hard bars
Keyglow shows where you stumble, for example that your left hand comes in late. Fix this spot loops a hard bar until you play it cleanly three times in a row.
Learn to read music
A new short piece to sight-read every day, plus quick drills: Note Hunt, Find the Key, Play It Back, Chords and Rhythm.
Music to start with
Every built-in song is public-domain music, so nothing is ever taken away. And you can always add your own.

Stars, leaderboards and the Song of the Week
Earn stars for every song and every step. Compete with friends in Game Center, chase the Song of the Week and collect achievements. A weekly streak keeps you going without guilt: a missed week can be covered.
Safe for children, useful for grown-ups
No accounts and no sign-up. Ads only appear in menus, never while you play, and they are always child-safe. Purchases and links out of the app sit behind a grown-up question. A weekly report shows practice days, minutes and songs to share with a parent or teacher.
