I tried to learn piano several times, but I always felt that the apps I used did not have what I needed.

So I vibe-coded this one for myself and my children.

I'm looking for more experienced piano players to give me feedback. I wonder if all the learning aids could be harmful somehow, such as showing a timer on the keys.

I was also thinking about creating a Guitar Hero-style mode for more casual play. I have a four-year-old who is not very excited about playing from the staff.

Available for Windows, Web or Ipad (see https://virtuoso.host.eco.br/)

Nice job.

I actually built a fairly unique edutainment app for the opposite skill set - learning to play by ear. It works with piano, guitar, and other instruments. I always tell my students there’s no reason to choose between sight reading and ear training as they complement each other really well. Link is in my bio if you’re interested.

I’d be curious to know what the existing apps were missing that made you decide to roll your own. Things like Sight Reading Factory, Read Ahead, Synthesia, Piano Maestro, etc.

One small bit of feedback: never ever ever use a metronome sound that has a defined pitch. In your app, it sounded like C and G respectively. That kind of pitched click can interfere with a player’s ability to internalize the music and can disrupt auditory processing. Instead, use woodblocks or other purely percussive sounds that don’t have a defined pitch.
