Description
Over 800 pieces included. Import your own for anything else.
Piano Tabs includes a giant library of classical pieces with over 800 pieces from over 90 composers. If that’s not enough, you can import your own MIDI files. They’re the industry standard, and super-easy to get hold of. Pieces are displayed as you would play them on a keyboard, so there is no learning curve to get started. Scroll through a piece for interactive playback to help you either find or study a section.
Loop sections. Practise until perfect.
Looping lets you pick specific parts of the piece you want to practise. Just drag the top and bottom handles set the start and end of the loop. With a loop set up up, you can use the speed trainer to have it start each loop playing slowly, and gradually speed up after each loop. Tweak how slow it starts, and how many loops it takes to reach the full tempo.
Make your mark. Annotate anywhere.
Bookmarks let you mark out sections within a piece. You can add as many as you need. Use your finger or Apple Pencil to freehand draw anywhere in the piece to annotate. (iPad only)
Customise every aspect of playback.
View every track within a MIDI file, and change the key and tempo to your liking. Percussion tracks play along side the active track, or can be swapped out for a standard click metronome, or silenced entirely.
Piano Tabs is available via a lifetime purchase that unlocks only the ability to import your own songs, or via a subscription that unlocks the full catalog in addition to song imports.

Ratings and Reviews
Why does it cost money
It should be free to play any songs like Synthesia is better because you don’t have to pay like a month but this it’s bad unless they make it free to listen to any songs
Developer Response ,
Thousands of hours of work goes into making apps, and charging for this app is the only way is generates money
Easy to follow, huge song selection
As someone who has been aspiring to learn piano for most of life, I really enjoyed how intuitive this UI felt in trying to learn. I grabbed my MIDI, hooked it up to my Mac, and followed along with the tutorials in the app. The fact that it lets you import any song unlocks the possibilities to learn your own favorites instead of just classical pieces.
One suggestion I would have is helping people understand finger coordination. I have a bad habit I hitting the keys with whichever finger I find most comfortable, but learning piano requires a certain amount finger mapping as to which is the correct “finger” to use for a particular key.
If there was a “finger map” mode that showed T, I, M, R, P (5 fingers) and maybe RT vs LT for right thumb vs left thumb, and this could show up on the keys while learning — it could add more value for those looking to learn the “proper” way
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your review! I do want to look at showing finger positions. It’s something that’s not really encoded into MIDI, so wouldn’t be possible for imported songs. But for the catalog songs it should be possible
[Fixed] Import seems to be not working…
*Update*
Issue has been resolved! This is a great app!
Purchased the full version to be able to import my own midi files and it just simply doesn’t. I select the file and click on open and it just doesn’t do anything. *Editing to add I received a response from the Developer offering to help figure this out. That’s more than can be said for a lot of other developers.
Developer Response ,
Sorry to hear you’re having issues! Could you use the ‘contact developer’ feature in the app to send me an email, and I’d love to help you out 😄
