Piano Stars

Play your piano. The game listens and cheers you on.

The iPad can't hear the piano yet

The microphone is turned off for this game. That's OK. You can still play by tapping the keys on the screen.

To turn the microphone on (for a grown-up)

First try: tap "Try again" below. When the iPad asks to use the microphone, tap Allow. If it doesn't ask, close the game and open it again, then tap "Play with my piano".

If it still doesn't ask: open the Settings app, tap Apps, then Safari, then Microphone, and choose Ask or Allow. Then open the game again.

    Great playing!

    Tune-up

    Play middle C on your piano. The big letter shows the note the iPad hears.

    Waiting for sound…

    For a grown-up: records the keyboard so the game can be tuned to it. It stays on this iPad unless you save and send it.

    Grown-ups

    Stars are saved on this iPad only. The listening log goes to the game's own private storage, where only the grown-up who set up the game can read it.

    Listening log

    Each line is one sound the game heard: how loud it was, which notes it heard (and how many looks), the note it wanted, and whether it counted. It is also sent after each song to the game's private storage (you can turn that off in Grown-ups), or tap Copy and paste it into a message.
