Piano Adventures® Player

The Faber Piano Adventure Player has been essential to my learning with the Adult Piano series. There are video introductions to sections and sheet music compositions that help with rhythm and queuing. It can connect to a digital Piano via USB or MIDI Bluetooth. I use it with my iPad and Roland HP603a via Bluetooth Audio/MIDI. The 3 things I would like to see in future versions: - Mark errors and score your attempt. I’d like to know where I need to improve or if I did it perfectly. Make it a game of sorts (earn stars?) - Support pedal(s) to start/stop/rewind. As of now I have to press play on the tablet and then rush my hands back to position. Left pedal (soft) one tap - rewind! Hold down - return to start. Middle pedal (sostenuto) start/stop. See Piascore it can be mapped!

This app is beautifully designed, with options for tempo, metronome, and piano backup or a variety of instruments. The only problem is that most of the songs cost money. Every book is 4.99, so if I bought every book it would be over 40 dollars! I’m not paying that money just so I can play along with music. It would be better if more songs were free, or if there were no purchases and everything was free. You are supposed to be helping people to learn to play piano, not forcing them to buy stuff. Also, for people who said they just wanted to hear the piano... To do so, look at the small buttons on the right. Next to the metronome button, there is a button with a + and a music note. Click it. Hope this helped.

This truly is a great help for an beginner adult (senior) piano player. I’m using the physical book to learn. But, to know you’re playing it correctly it helps to actually hear what it is supposed to sound like. I’ve shared this app with 2 other beginners and they find it quite helpful too. My only suggestion would be to add an option to display the suggested finger position. The option would allow the user to turn display or hide the suggested finger position. That way I could take the music with me without the book. That said, there is no substitute for the book. But, this is a “must have” partner to it. I still give it a full 5 stars.

I love the user interface on this app. Unlike other apps, you can disable the keyboard from showing while performing the musical pieces. It can also detect your piano input via iPad microphone or through midi. I like the fact that I can use my Akai LPK25 in conjunction with the midimittr app. My only qualm is that you cannot upload new scores, and the sheet music is limited. Otherwise, nice app.

What a fantastic tool this app is. My daughter and I are learning piano and this app has several valuable tools built into it that will help you with your lessons and practice. It’s very easy to use and is full of useful features such as music scores with backing tracks, tempo adjustments, mute left or right hands, looper, metronome, and more. Very well priced as well.
