Pianote review

Pianote, the piano brand of Musora, is the deepest video course here for adults. Its method runs step by step, and more than 200 courses come from well-known teachers, including Jordan Rudess on technique, Jesús Molina on harmony and Kevin Castro on jazz and blues. Beginners can follow 30-day challenges such as New Piano Players Start Here, Easy Chords and Read Music In 30 Days in daily 10-minute sessions. Members also get student plans, weekly live Q&As and unlimited personal support, which is closer to a teacher than most apps offer. A Musora membership covers piano, guitar, drums, voice and bass. The lessons-only plan is $25 monthly or $229 a year, and adding transcribed songs with playback tools raises that to $30 or $279. There is a 7-day free trial and a 90-day money-back guarantee. Pianote does not hear your playing, so it works best for self-motivated adults, and it is not aimed at small children.
