A real piano.
1.3 GB of concert grand recordings. 480 samples at 16 velocity layers, 48 kHz / 24-bit. Not a synthesizer. Not compressed shortcuts. A piano, recorded very carefully.
Touch a key. Hear it ring. Now you know music theory.
A piano that teaches as you play.

Touch two keys — the app names the interval. Touch three — it names the chord. Keep adding notes and it identifies the scale. You hear what a major third sounds like before you read what it means.
Your language.
Six note-naming systems. Nine quality systems. C-D-E or Do-Re-Mi or the German H — the music stays the same, only the words change. Switch whenever you want.
The piano.
Most music apps use tiny compressed sounds — a few megabytes, maybe. This app ships with recordings of a real concert grand piano, captured at 48 kHz / 24-bit resolution. That's the same quality you'd find in a professional recording studio.
There are 480 individual samples — every minor third across the keyboard, recorded at 16 different volume levels. The result sounds like a piano because it is one, just recorded very carefully.
Notation.
Some people learnt C-D-E-F-G-A-B. Some learnt Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si. In Germany and Scandinavia they use H instead of B. Six different note-naming conventions are built in.
"Major" and "minor" is one way to describe chords. "Dur" and "moll" is German. "Maggiore" and "minore" is Italian. Nine terminology systems, covering how musicians actually talk in different parts of the world. Switch whenever you want. The music stays the same — only the words change.
