Octotune: Learn Piano Together

Octotune teaches piano and reading music to grown-ups and young children, on one piano and in one app. You follow a path from middle C to sight-reading real sheet music. Your child starts in Kids mode, a picture book with Octo the octopus and his friends from the reef. Each of you has your own book.

LEARN TO READ MUSIC • A path of 12 units: middle C, both clefs, ledger lines, rhythm, the keys of G and F, chords and sight-reading • Landmark reading: know middle C, treble G and bass F on sight, then read every other note as a step or a skip • Short sittings of three to six minutes • Already read a little? A placement test lets you start further along • Tempo marks, from Adagio to Allegro, as a piece gets fluent

PLAY REAL PIECES • Over 120 pieces: children’s songs and classical works, from Bach and Mozart to Schumann and Satie • Songbooks written for the path, each song with its own picture • Wait for me, one hand at a time, loop a measure, slow it down • Sheet music or falling notes, your choice

GAMES AT THE PIANO • Note Rain for reading, Copycat for listening, Duet for two players at one piano, and Moss’s Parade for rhythm • They use only the notes the path has already taught • An Explore shelf of fourteen activity boards, each teaching one idea away from the keys, with nothing to lose or fail

KIDS MODE: PIANO BEFORE READING • From about age 2½, with no words to read and no voice • The key lights up, a drawn hand shows the way, and Octo’s friends show high and low • High and low, loud and soft, a steady beat and the black keys, then colored notes with their letters, then the staff • Stray keys and palms never block a step • Anything a grown-up should decide sits behind a question only a grown-up can answer

THE WHOLE FAMILY • Up to six players, each with their own book and avatar • A one-page practice report to share with a piano teacher, made on your device • Piano teachers can start a studio for their adult students, and each student chooses what their teacher sees

PLAY ON WHAT YOU HAVE • A MIDI keyboard or digital piano, by USB or Bluetooth • Or the piano on the screen: each finger is its own key, so you can hold a chord • With a keyboard, every button has a key too: any C goes on, B goes back • Works offline • Octotune doesn’t use the microphone yet, so it can’t hear an acoustic piano today

THE OCTOTUNE PROMISE • No ads. No analytics. Children are never asked for anything. • Mistakes are information: a wrong note shows you the right one, and nothing is taken away • No hearts to lose, no leagues, no nagging • Your progress stays on your device. Signing in with Apple or Google is optional, for grown-ups only, and keeps your progress the same on every device
