Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Guide does not work
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.
Bad just Bad
This app is terrible and don’t listen to them when they say they have 5star rewiews that is because they only have 3! And sorry for my grammar.
