The Musiah teaching method and syllabus were continually tested and refined over an 18 year period BEFORE being embodied as a software invention.

Musiah is for adults and kids from age 7, mainly beginners or relative beginners. It may also suit some advanced students, particularly those returning to piano after a long break who are seeking to refresh their skills. EQUIPMENT A MIDI keyboard (minimum 49 keys) connected to your iPad by either Bluetooth or cable. Note: Unlike some other apps, we do not use the iPad’s built-in mic to listen for the sound of notes played on an acoustic piano as experience has shown that there are many issues with this approach. Bluetooth or cable connections to a MIDI keyboard are by far the most reliable way to ensure that your playing is assessed accurately so you receive an optimal lesson experience.

    Hands down the best piano learning app out there
    For several months I used an app that was recommended by the Apple Store. As time went on, I felt like I stopped progressing and I was not at a point in my learning the piano that I felt I should have been. The program did not explain things very well and I was not learning the notes on the keyboard. I searched for another app that was better, and I found that in the Musiah app. The Musiah program uses artificial intelligence, and I have to say it’s pretty good. It’s just like having your own personal instructor sitting right next to you. The AI explains things well. If I didn’t understand things the first time, I can play it over until it makes sense to me. The program points out what I am doing wrong and tells me what I need to do to improve. The Musiah app has games that has really helped me to learn the notes on the staff and keyboard. It has helped me learn the music symbols as well as the terminology. This was something I was really needing in the other program. I have been using the Musiah app now for a couple of months and I have aspired to the fourth of 13 levels of learning. I don’t feel stuck anymore. When I am having a hard time playing a piece of music, the program has a practice area that lets me play at my own speed until I can play at a more regular tempo. The program is a great value, considering the cost of having a live instructor, and it offers a lot of support and encouragement both within the app and online. One must be committed to learning to play the piano. Learning takes time, and with the Musiah app it is making the process for me both easier and more enjoyable. Thanks, Brendan, for creating this wonderful program! Show more

    Musiah
    This is more of a story about me and how Musiah played a role in restoring a hope I thought was all but dead. I always hoped of being able to learn an instrument and grew up with a seldom used piano in the house. After several traumatic grade school attempts with teachers, I entered life at 18 without being able to play a single song on any instrument. I attempted piano lessons with a local teacher in one of the first towns I lived. I practiced at a local church and I was self-conscious of the childish sounds I was producing; I only practiced there a couple of times. I started using a sheet of paper where I drew piano keys to scale. Although the teacher thought I was doing fine, it was not that satisfying playing on a sheet of paper. I stopped after the second lesson and walked to a nearby music store and bought a cheap classical guitar and a Mel Bay lesson book. For over 40 years I carried that guitar and a small box of necessary paraphernalia. Several times I pulled it out. For a few weeks or months, I would struggle to learn. Nothing more than a couple of songs here or there and eventually I packed it up again. A couple years back in a downsizing event, I sold it at a garage sale to someone that could put it to use. I convinced myself that learning an instrument was a child’s game. Young hands and minds with plenty of time and a lifetime ahead. All hope gone, but a lingering desire remained. I believe one nemesis of my playing was tempo. I had no real issues learning the notes and reading the music, but I struggled when it came to playing at the proper tempo. Fussing with a metronome, I struggled, not really knowing if I played anything at the correct tempo with accurate timing and duration. Stumbling with notes while trying to play at the correct tempo, I never knew for sure when I had learned the song well enough to move on to the next. I soon would hit a wall of discouragement where I saw no improvement and the guitar would just gather dust until I put it away again. 62 years old, and one last attempt. Digital pianos in a digital world, like a word processor to a manual typewriter. Could I find a solution, was there still hope? My research indicated only one learning option that satisfied all my concerns and gave a spark to my dying hope of playing an instrument. That was Musiah. I basically read everything on the Musiah website regarding practice tips, several videos regarding hands and positioning, and many articles of interest. Based on the many resources available on the Musiah website, I researched and purchased the best quality digital piano I could afford. I made sure that it was compatible with the Musiah App and an iPad. The piano arrived, I put it together, downloaded Musiah, hooked up the iPad, and began another attempt to learn an instrument. There was a bit of a learning curve with using the product, but within a few weeks I had progressed to be able to play beyond anything I had done before. Hope was returning. Each song presented new challenges, I thought, how will I ever learn this. Note by note, Measure by Measure, Musiah teaches a structured lesson plan through an interactive interface with audio dialog and visual feedback. When it comes to applying the teaching and preparing to demonstrate what I have learned, it is the practice area I find to be priceless. What training wheels are to learning to ride a bicycle, the practice area is to learning ride the metronome. Keeping balance with tempo, time, and duration. Being able to hold myself accountable for playing each segment or the entire song in tempo and knowing precisely how well I was doing. Each lesson passed with that feeling you see in a child when you remove the training wheels, and they look back realize no one is holding them and they are riding on their own. That is the feeling I am trying to convey. I could describe experiences with each lesson, but one that stands out was with the developer’s arrangement of Fur Elise. At first, the song seemed out of reach. When I did reach the end of that lesson and first played the piece with the backing track, it was a euphoric feeling as goose bumps rose on my arms and my eyes started to water from the joy as I realized; I am playing this! It was an e-ticket ride as hours of practice diminished to that 5-star moment of joy. Hope was alive again and I credit Musiah with being a critical component in its resuscitation. Don’t tell the developer, I don’t want it going to his head. After all, with 2 years and hundreds of hours of practice it would be unrealistic to say I don’t have any issues or suggestions for the App, but nothing that is a deal breaker that I couldn’t adapt to my strategies. Such issues and suggestions I discuss directly with the developer who is quick to respond with gracious words that acknowledge my concerns and provide support and encouragement. That human response and the information provided on the Musiah website are extra credit in my view. I am about to begin my third year with the Musiah course, and I only have two lessons remaining to complete the course. It may have taken hundreds of hours of practice, but with Musiah’s practice area there is a game like feeling. Each attempt displays your accuracy with a “score” that includes Notes, Timing, and Duration. Adjusting your game “tempo” until you reach full tempo a 100% accuracy. The problem for me is knowing when to stop. Like when I got my first home video game and played space invaders until I couldn’t move my hands. It seems that many other people complete the course in much less time, but I am a not like other people, or so I am told. I tend to take my time, especially with foundations and fundamentals. The last two years have been an amazing journey that have taken me to destinations I could only dream of reaching. For me, Musiah becomes less about on counting the hours and more about making the hours count. David Upstate NY US Show more

    I’m encouraged
    I’m on level1 lesson 4, Already I’m encouraged this may be “THE “ app. I have been using the Alfred self learning books. So I’m not exactly a beginner. My biggest hurtle is timing. This app actually points out where you played the note and where it should have been played. The accompanying metronomes,very nice. I like how the lessons are structured and the progression. The different keyboard sounds with each lesson is also helpful to develop your ear. I gave it a 4 because the print is just to small. I have to lean to far forward to read the notes and anything else written. It’s not a matter of putting on glasses, the print is just to small. I use a ipad 12.9” and can’t pinch it bigger. It doesn’t matter if it landscape or portrait its to small. Please make the print bigger PLEASE! Show more

    Impressive Piano teacher
    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. Show more

    Good Lessons, EXCELLENT customer Service!
    Different family members have used Musiah on and off for years. Whenever we need to take a break, pausing it is as simple as one click and Brendan always sends a personal kind note to acknowledge the request. Resuming is also simple and you can pick back up right where you left off. Musiah is our go-to to satisfy home-school music requirement. The platform is enjoyable and the kids did make progress quickly. In particular my son- the lessons sparked an interest in him we did not know existed. Thank you! Show more

    Structured learning with real time feedback
    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. Show more

    A great experience
    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. Show more

    Over hyped and slow learning process
    I was very intrigued and excited when I came across Musiah. I was puzzled as to why there is no independent reviews of the app on YouTube or elsewhere. I decided to try it since there was a trial. This app drills in sight reading but it makes the learning process overall very slow and tedious. It’s lacking images of hand placement, music notation screen size is small, for learning many other apps are quick to get you going with sight reading and playing songs. Musiah seems more focused on making things take more time because the instructions aren’t as intuitive as they could be. As hopeful as I was to love Musiah I simply find myself discouraged by it each time I go in for a lesson. I’m also confused as to where the artificial intelligence is really shining, nothing seems to really adapt to you that much unless you make a lot of errors and then it just repeats to you what was wrong with that pretty much like any video game that has boundaries of what’s correct. Overall I think the app has potential but seems unfinished and more about subscription and hype. Where are the independent reviews just try some google searches, the most you will get is some discussions on forums. Update: There is no independent reviews for Musiah except for what the developer has as links to provide? There isn’t any reviews on YouTube except for what is hosted by Musiah’s account. 16 times faster for learning piano where is the proof of that? Over hyped app, removed another star since the constructive criticism is met with outdated sophistry and logical fallacies as to what Artificial Intelligence means. This app could be really great if it actually had artificial intelligence teaching you, but as with the responses it seems more focused on marketing and getting your subscription than you actually learning piano, just learn it 16 times faster!
