My college math professor, a mentor who profoundly influenced my life, once advised us not to stress over teaching math to young children around the ages of 5 or 6. Instead, he encouraged allowing them to play games, explore musical instruments, learn sports, and delve into books. Motivated by his wisdom, I sought ways for my children to learn an instrument, though finding a suitable piano teacher was challenging. Local teachers weren’t available, and online lessons seemed costly and potentially ineffective.
However, a breakthrough came when my daughter’s aunt gifted her Simply Piano—a beautifully designed iPad app. I then bought her a piano. For the past six months, she’s dedicated half an hour daily to practice, and her progress and happiness in learning are remarkable. Simply Piano‘s gamified approach offers numerous lesson pieces that make her feel accomplished, arming her with renewed motivation each day.
As a father, I rely a lot on my daughter’s visual memory and Simply Piano‘s flashcard method of teaching note placements by constantly showing flashcards is great. So it’s a very good app for starting from scratch and getting your hand used to the piano keys. The digital Casio piano we have at the moment is becoming insufficient and we are planning to buy a good Roland piano.
To summarize Simply Piano is an invaluable resource for any parent looking to nurture a child’s musical journey.
