Find answers below to your frequently asked questions regarding the use of keyboards with the Piano Academy!
Do I need a keyboard in order to use Piano Academy?
The app offers an on-screen touch keyboard that is suitable for most beginner lessons - no keyboard needed!
As you progress, you may however find the on-screen keyboard more difficult to use and inefficient for the purpose of learning. At this point, we do recommend switching over to a piano keyboard.
What kind of keyboards are support by the Piano Academy app?
The app supports acoustic pianos, electronic pianos as well as MIDI keyboard controllers.
How do I connect my MIDI keyboard to the app?
You will need a “Lightning to USB Camera Adapter” connection to your device, which makes it possible to connect the MIDI cable via a USB port. Once all is connected, the app will automatically detect it.
How many keys should my keyboard have?
Our beginner content currently supports 49, 61 or 88-key keyboards.
As learning progresses, for an optimal experience we recommend the use of an 88-key keyboard.
