Crap
I can't get started it won't recognise the highest key ..im using a 88 key korg lianno
Very nice game!
With MIDI cable, it works really nice, and the piano keyboard setup is very straightforward and easy.
What I really love, is that you can learn to improvise on jazz songs! Really nice!
Almost good
Can detect keys pressed on your physical piano, just not accurately, which makes it useless to learn piano with it.
Where is the rest of the tutorial?
This can be a bit finnikey with the finger tracking but generally works well.
Only the 1st 3 lessons in the tutorial though and then it gets a bit hard to navigate.

Useless
I was extremely disappointed after installing the app. It quickly recognized my Recital Pro keyboard, and setting up the virtual keyboard was easy. I could play and hear all the notes, which was a positive. However, when I started the first lesson, it only recognized the first C note and would not accept any other C notes across the keys. Because of this issue, I couldn't continue with the lesson, and the app wouldn't unlock the subsequent lessons.
When I opened the other lesson folder, there was no option to proceed. It simply displayed all the note chords available for practice, with no start button or any visual indication of how to begin the lesson. It felt like a useless app at that point.
Additionally, I couldn't find a way to turn off the background sounds in the virtual environments. It was very distracting to hear other music and people mumbling while I was trying to focus on the lesson plan. I prefer immersion over passthrough, so this was quite frustrating.
I'm hesitant to go through a bunch of hoops on Discord and then wait forever for a response. Rebooting my Quest 3 headset did not solve the problems . . . sadly refunding.
Fantastic AR experience!
Well engineered and thought out! As a beginner, I'm very excited at how well this works with our regular piano, which had been idle for too long. Makes learning much more interesting and challenging. I'm looking forward to how this progresses, particularly with the beginner lessons. I'm hoping to see right hand and left hand exercises added soon. So well done -- I would gladly pay for it!
