Description

The OFFICIAL ABRSM Piano Practice Partner is a simple way to make practising your ABRSM Exam pieces more musical, enjoyable and rewarding.

"… immeasurably valuable for learning new repertoire … the app is brilliantly easy to navigate and inviting to use." BBC Music Magazine

Let Piano Practice Partner play one hand while you play the other as you learn.

Use the ABRSM Piano Practice Partner to:
• Practise each hand separately to improve your fluency – focus on your left hand technique while Practice Partner plays the right hand.
• Make practice more musical and enjoyable by having a virtual partner to play along with.
• Improve your control and general piano technique, helping you to become a more fluent pianist.
• Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo that suits you, for slow careful practice.
• Set loops to repeat parts of your piece if you need to focus on one section.
• Learn to memorise your music for more secure performances.
• Personalise it! Choose from over 20 different hands to customise your Practice Partner.

Piano Practice Partner comes with two examples of music from Grade 3 and Grade 6 of the NEW ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces 2025 & 2026.

In app you may purchase:
• Grade selections

Loop function is impossible to use

The loop function doesn’t work- I move the left cursor and it still starts the piece from the beginning. Also you can’t see what seconds you are on while dragging the cursor and it’s very small so it’s very not user friendly if you are trying to find the part you want to repeat. Also this means it is hard to find your place in the piece generally so repetitive practice of one section becomes impossible. Very frustrating and badly designed app.

Buying additional pieces took my money, but no pieces

I used this app for a few years, and it was okay. Then I bought some additional Grade 5 pieces on my phone. The payment went through, and the purchase appears in my account (on my phone), but the pieces never appeared in the app. Restore Your Pieces’ doesn’t work. It’s not an issue with being logged in with the wrong account (I only have one account anyway). I’ve tried everything (and I have the latest iOS). I have contacted ABRSM numerous times about this but have never had a response. Others have had similar problems so it appears there is a fault with the app, which is being ignored. This is very poor from ABRSM, if their products are taking people’s money but not providing what was purchased, and they won’t respond, then the apps should be withdrawn from sale.

Rubbish

The app is a waste of space. It will not allow me to download any new music. I’ve checked everything and spent hours. All the support team can suggest (and they took 2 months to respond to me) is ‘tap the blue button with your little finger’ . And ‘check Apple Pay is authorised’. Even though I’ve explained 3 times that i am certain I know how to tap the blue button and the first thing I checked was Apple Pay. They seem to think I am a moron - I’ve used this app for 5 years with no issues previously- the problem started when I upgraded to 4.1 and started on grade 7. I haven’t been able to use since then. I’m so angry with the lack of technical help to get it to work.
