The OFFICIAL ABRSM Piano Practice Partner is a simple way to make practising your ABRSM Exam pieces more musical, enjoyable and rewarding. "… immeasurably valuable for learning new repertoire … the app is brilliantly easy to navigate and inviting to use." BBC Music Magazine Let Piano Practice Partner play one hand while you play the other as you learn. Use the ABRSM Piano Practice Partner to: • Practise each hand separately to improve your fluency – focus on your left hand technique while Practice Partner plays the right hand. • Make practice more musical and enjoyable by having a virtual partner to play along with. • Improve your control and general piano technique, helping you to become a more fluent pianist. • Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo that suits you, for slow careful practice. • Set loops to repeat parts of your piece if you need to focus on one section. • Learn to memorise your music for more secure performances. • Personalise it! Choose from over 20 different hands to customise your Practice Partner. Piano Practice Partner comes with two examples of music from Grade 3 and Grade 6 of the NEW ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces 2025 & 2026. In app you may purchase: • Grade selections - All pieces from the 2025 & 2026 ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Initial Grade - Grade 8. The following pieces from earlier ABRSM syllabuses are also available to purchase in-app: • 2023 & 2024 syllabus - All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-8. - All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Grades 1-8. • 2021 & 2022 syllabus - All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-8. - All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Grades 1-8. • 2019 & 2020 syllabus - All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-8. - All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Grades 1-8. • 2017 & 2018 syllabus - All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-8. • 2015 & 2016 syllabus - All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-3. - All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Grades 1-3.

Guide does not work
05/02/2020

ngretuta
There are some pieces where it allows you to turn on the guide - depending on the number of rests or changes in tempo in the piece. I tried it out and it doesn’t seem to work. I don’t hear or see any guide.Other than that, the app is pretty simple. It would help that aside from the option of slowing down the piece or isolating the hands, there is also a built-in metronome.

Developer Response
Hi ngretuta,A guide has been provided where there is a long rest in one or both hands, or where there is a difficult change in tempo. Some pieces do not feature either of these so do not have a guide option. Please note that in order to hear the guide, one of the hands must be switched off.
