The use of smartphones and tablets has skyrocketed during the last decade. With that, apps for learning to play musical instruments are becoming more and more common. As someone who learned piano as an older child, I would have given anything to have access to the sorts of apps children have available today.<\/p>\n

That being said, while apps can make learning to play the piano seem easy, one app doesn\u2019t necessarily fit all. It\u2019s important to understand what sort of piano player your child is before selecting the app that\u2019s right for them.

Since its release in 2016, Roland Piano Partner 2<\/a> has gained positive reviews from industry specialists due to its multi-faceted functionality. Free on both iOS and Android devices, the app works with any Roland piano that\u2019s Bluetooth enabled.<\/p>\n

Not only does it provide an interactive way for your child to learn, it also unlocks additional features such as an enhanced user interface for your piano. Acting as a remote controller for your piano, it allows you to adjust settings and select instrumentation from your device.<\/p>\n

In terms of its learning potential, the app has many onboard songs that come complete with notation for your child to learn and play along to. Build your child\u2019s note recognition with the Flash Cards, or let them loose on the Rhythm section, which gives them an entertaining selection of beats to play along with and the experience of playing with an ensemble. It also comes with a Recorder and Diary function, so you can playback and evaluate your performances and even keep track of your practice sessions.<\/p>\n
