About flowkey

flowkey is a piano learning service that pairs a video of a pianist's hands with scrolling sheet music on the same screen. It listens to your piano or keyboard and, in Wait Mode, pauses until you hit the right notes. You can slow pieces down, loop a tricky section, and practise the left or right hand on its own. The song library covers thousands of arrangements across genres and difficulty levels, and step-by-step courses teach chords, music theory and reading sheet music. You can start for free with a limited selection, and a premium subscription opens the full library and courses. It runs in the browser and as apps for phones and tablets. flowkey suits beginners and returning players who want to learn real songs while picking up note reading along the way. Compared with Synthesia it leans more on teaching and video, and like most course apps it requires an ongoing subscription for full access.

Best for: Beginners who want to learn real songs from video and sheet music with gentle feedback.
