Musiah – Real Piano Lessons 4+

I’m an older adult learner and have been using Musiah in pure-mode (game interface turned off) for one year. I’ve just started the final song.

I’ve progressed further using Musiah in one year than I did in about three years of college piano classes (that I took 20 years ago).

I believe the acceleration was due to the instant feedback I got with Musiah. My college classes met only once a week so I often incorrectly practiced a piece for days before we met. I’d then have to unlearn and relearn the piece...

Musiah’s practice area is simply outstanding. It allows you to control which measures to practice, which hand(s), the tempo, backing track or metronome, and more. You can have Musiah demo the song so you can hear what it’s supposed to sound like.
Musiah gives you instant visual feedback about note accuracy, timing, and duration so you know immediately when you’re not playing the piece correctly.

You need to commit the time to get the most out of Musiah. You need to treat this like a real class with homework and tests. Musiah will not let you advance levels without achieving minimum passing scores on auditions.

In summary, Musiah’s structured approach kept me on track and I learned a lot. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been rewarding and has given me the confidence to continue on.

Sincere thanks, Dan, for sharing your experience. Please know that your support for Musiah is truly appreciated, and I'm delighted you go so much out of your lessons. Well done on all you have achieved this last year.

I found Musiah when I googled an online Piano lesson for my kids during the Covid lockdown. Since nobody in my family has any background in music, I was not sure how this is going to go.
Amazingly, Musiah's approach is so structured and easy to follow that my son (6 years old) immediately fell in love with it. Musiah's instant feedback helped him correct his mistakes on the spot. Also the fact that he can do it at his own pace and whenever he wants to helped him gain his momentum. He was homeschooling because of the Covid pandemic and every time he gets a break from his class, he is at the Piano doing Musiah. He started the lesson 9 months ago and he is now at the final level playing like a pro with his little fingers. I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon Musiah as it is truly amazing. Kudos to the inventor of this software.

Hi Yekana, thank you so much for sharing your (and your son's) experience with Musiah. I'm delighted he has been finding the lessons so effective and am thrilled to see him do so well. To have had the opportunity (through the Musiah app) to introduce him to what will hopefully be a life-long gift of making music has been a real privilege. Thank you again for your kind support.

As a “senior” adult with decades of experience playing guitar I looked at many different programs and options to fulfill a life long desire to learn the piano. I was starting with music knowledge but no piano experience. The instant feedback in Musiah had me hooked at the first trial. If you are off on the note, timing or duration you will know. That got me started but what kept me going for the long haul was developing a sense of trust in the pace of development, and because of that confidence that I would succeed. The pieces were interesting and fun but sometimes seemed impossible...at first. Impossible became possible with patience and practice. Near the end of the course when I started playing more outside of Musiah I used the same philosophy and techniques successfully and with a great deal of personal satisfaction. It has been a great beginning.

Thanks so much Steve. And congratulations on completing the course! That is a great achievement of which you should be very proud.
