Ratings and Reviews
New playground app
Total improvement on the original app, more user friendly and it feels like it was written for IOS rather than just cobbled together. Lessens are good and you can alter the size of the scrolling sheet music to suit your vision. Only criticism at the minute is having to sign into the playground site to get new courses and songs, would feel more streamlined if you could do this in the app. But apart from that 100% better than the previous version and the reason I have started using this app once more.

Thank you and welcome back to Playground Sessions! We are glad the new app is working well for you. We have a lot of new features planned for the not-too-distant future, so stay tuned!
A Playground Indeed
At first I was quite impressed with this app/website and everything. As a complete beginner I did learn quite quickly and I thought the gamification was great. HOWEVER if you are really serious about learning the piano and really want to learn to play full versions of songs I highly recommend an alternative service such as Pianote. My main bugbear with Playground sessions that they don’t openly tell you is that many of the songs aren’t the original compositions, but arrangements of those songs. The reason they do this is because these songs are a higher level than Playground will teach you. That was the deal breaker for me. In short, if you want to have some fun and learn a few pieces that will impress your uninitiated non-musical friends then I can recommend Playground Sessions. If you want to learn piano seriously and become a well rounded capable pianist use Pianote.

Hi will11j,
Thanks for the feedback. We’d like to think that no one has to be initiated to learn to play and that everyone is musical!
We frequently offer songs arranged at several difficulty levels so that it’s possible to play more complex versions as your musicianship improves. We don’t hide the fact that our arrangements are done by the Playground Sessions music team — the sheet music you see in the Song Library on the web and in the desktop app includes the name of the arranger.
Going forward, we want to offer more songs in their original arrangements, something that wasn’t always possible with our legacy app due to the technology of the time.
Better than flowkey!
This app is made by musicians for people who want to learn piano. What i like is the simplicity of the interface and structured learning. I also like custom options for sheet music (note numbers, custom play speed, etc…) this is something that flowkey is lacking. The sheet music itself is well presented and looks like sheet music you can buy in shop. Good variety of music in the library, i hope this app improves further from its current version as i am really enjoying it. 🎹🎼🎶😄

Hi Aaron,
We're happy to hear that our app and learning method is working well for you! The team puts in a lot of time breaking down concepts into lessons that build your skills as you play. We have some things planned for this year that we think people will find helpful and engaging, but we're always open to ideas! Don't hesitate to email support@playgroundsessions.com if you have feature ideas or notice something in the app that could be improved.
