hiI did the trial lesson of simply piano or joy tunes and I got charged 149.00 for it. When I look up how much it cost its not even that much for a year subscription. I figured I'd pay for a month not a year and I never would have thought it was 150 dollars.. thats insane. I would like to get a full refund and ill get rid of the app because now I dont want to even try it for a month.

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! From our understanding, you are looking to get a refund for a subscription through Apple, do we have that right? We are a user to user community so we do not have access to your account here.


One-to-one piano lessons for all ages and abilities. We offer the most comprehensive and stimulating approach to piano eduction currently available. Our curriculum will have you reading music, playing from memory, improvising and composing. Book a free consultation lesson now online.


Tricksy business practices aside, my wife and I have been impressed with Simply Piano. It structures each lesson like a video game. You start by learning the new notes and then playing them at your pace.


If you want to take up piano, have a child or grandchild who might be interested in learning, or would like a virtual tutor to augment in-person lessons, Simply Piano is well worth checking out, and Simply Guitar may be as well.


The first I knew about this (call me irresponsible) was when I found him sitting at the piano with the tablet resting on it. To my astonishment he was playing notes, in time, from sheet music that was scrolling across the screen.


The great thing about Simply Piano for me is that Harrison finds it addictive. He actually wants to learn and is desperate to progress to the next stage, so much so that after a week he was begging me to upgrade from the free version to the paid version.


The Manchester Grammar School has developed a wide range of free-to-access online academic courses for pupils both within the school and beyond to make high-quality learning accessible to more pupils.

Does anyone else use this ?



I am using it as a way to improve my practically non existant sight reading skills and a fun alternate to the books I am also using.



Just on finishing the sixth out of the fourteen modules. It is fun :)


Take it I am the only one using this app, lol.



Finished another couple of modules...finished ten, four to go.



I picked up one of my music books and it seemed slightly easier to play, so I must be learning something !


I am finding it harder now the music is faster !

So I am replaying the song from the start, just to get an idea of how far I have come in a few short weeks and practise the songs I scraped through and then go back to the two fast songs on the end of module 12.


Yes, it teaches you piano.



You can get a week free but makes sure to unclick the autorenew on Google play or it will charge you.



I complained that there wasn't a monthly membership option and they offered me a discount for the first three months membership which I thankfully took. So I paid 15 for three months...full price 30.



I am really enjoying it. My 11yo daughter and DH are learning on it too. My 7 yo daughter has played a few of the earlier lessons and enjoyed it.



I am up to changing hand positions from D, C and F ! I am stuck. Will try again tomorrow.



Highly recommend it. If you have played a piano before you will wizz through the earlier modules !



NB. It is designed to be used with a piano or keyboard. It can 'hear' via your phone's speakers or we bought a cheap midi to mini usb connection lead which cost us 8

That means we can play our digital piano with headphones on and not annoy the neighbours !


OP thank you for the running commentary- it's really useful.



I'm looking for something to recommend to a friend of mine who has self-taught from little musical experience. Zero manuscript awareness but an amazing musical ear.



I've suggested the basics as a way of bridging the gap in his knowledge (finger positions, chords etc, major and minor differences etc) but don't know how to advise him further.



Would this app help?


I would suggest he gets the free trial week and see he thinks. I am not a good judge as I am a beginner myself.



Any how. Thanks to chicken pox. I have not had piano time recently. So hope to get back to the keyboard this evening...children permitting.


Hi! I just googled the Simply Piano app to read reviews, and found this really useful. I got a digital piano for Xmas and haven't gotten very far with learning how to play so far. I am new to playing music full stop, but so far this app is brilliant! I have only just completed the free portion of the app - so will have to sign up for the Premium version now - but it sounds like it's going to be money well-spent! The only thing slightly misleading is that it says 'cancel anytime' on the sign-up page, but if you take out the 4.99 / month rate, I presume you are locked in for a year, totalling 59.88?


That's good to know, as it's very difficult to judge just from the basics course how long it'll take to get through the entire course, and become an adept player. And I understand that they add new material. Did you find that you could learn how to both read music and play piano just by using the app alone? Did it start delving into using pedals?


No pedals yet. They have had two more modules as I have been learning. So I am now two modules from the end, not one !



Not had chance to play recently with kids home...going to have another go tonight :)


I've just finished the 7 day free trial and love the app. Got through Essentials 1 and 2 before the trial ran out. Have just emailed them about a month by month option as paying in blocks is just too big an ask at this time of year :(


Our son has basic piano lessons as part of their kindergarten curriculum. We bought the app last year, with one year subscription! He only used it for about a week! ?.

And during this covid times he revisited the app (subscription still active) and has been playing a lot! It made us realized that he is interested in piano and now we are thinking of making him take piano lessons when covid ends. We are just simply happy that he can play music even not as perfect as the one formally taught. He is doing self study so we can see discipline and interest! He is just 6yrs old anyways.

This is his 3month progress




My oldest is in middle school, and the twins just entered 3rd grade. The age gap is close enough that they often like the same things, but far enough apart that they still differ; oh, and far enough that their school pick-up times cause me two daily trips.


I've been trying to get them into piano lessons after I found my dusty, old keyboard from almost a decade ago. Finding a time for lessons after their sports means a 5pm start time, late dinners, and yet another trip for me.


We tried YouTube piano lesson videos since we could at least pick when they practiced, but the kids lasted about 7 minutes - they got completely distracted and lost interest. (It was even worse with lesson books.)


Music was so important to me as a child; it shaped me as a person, gave me an edge when I went to college, and taught me discipline. I was determined to find some way to get music into their lives, so the next time I was dropping the twins off at school I asked another mom what she does for her kids.


She told me she uses Simply Piano, a virtual app that lets her kids practice when and where they want. It comes with a library of 1,000+ pop and classical songs so they can stay engaged with music they already know and love.


She explained that each of her kids has their own profile with the Family Plan, the lessons are interactive which keeps the kids wanting to level-up, and they can move at their own pace. I felt less guilty knowing that my kids wouldn't be online where they could easily scroll to other videos when they should be practicing.


I went home and dug into Simply Piano, curious if something virtual could really hold their attention and increase their skills. The song selection was incredible, which gave me hope they would be excited to play. Around 5,000 songs from almost every genre - Frozen for the twins, Billie Eilish for my eldest, and classical for me if I ever wanted to give it a go.


Simply Piano is unlike any other virtual music learning platform. It provides tutorials to help posture and interacts with the kids way more than I had imagined. My worries about it being less thorough than in-person lessons vanished when I saw the app react to their playing and give feedback.


Simply Piano has given both me and my kids the flexibility we need to stay balanced. It works perfectly into our schedules and I can hear the difference it makes every time my kids get to a new lesson.


Simply (formerly JoyTunes) is a privately held company developing software that teaches creative hobbies, from playing music to drawing and more. The company started out creating mobile apps that teach learners around the world how to play musical instruments, initially the piano and recorder and later branching out to other instruments such as guitar[1] with an interactive note recognition engine called MusicSense[2] that listens to the learner's playing and offer real-time feedback, utilizing acoustic learning for piano, guitar, or singing.[3]
