Piano Lab - Your Piano Coach

Piano Lab helps you read music, practice at your own pace, and explore the piano in English or Simplified Chinese. Switch between Western staff notation and Chinese jianpu throughout the app. BUILD YOUR MUSIC LIBRARY Scan a printed score, import a photo, open a MIDI or MusicXML file URL, paste an exported score, or enter notes by hand. Keep tempo, key, time signature, and difficulty with each piece. READ, LISTEN, AND PRACTICE Read a scrollable score with pinch to zoom. Hear a Demo Play performance with an on-screen piano keyboard. Practice with microphone-based pitch and timing feedback, separate hand scores, a count-in, and adjustable tempo. Save session results and revisit your practice history. CLASSIC METHOD BOOKS Explore more than 400 exercises and pieces from Beyer, Czerny, Hanon, Burgmüller, Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena, and Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias. Find exercises by their displayed number and open them in the same reading, playback, and practice tools. FIND MUSIC WITH CLEAR SOURCES Search public-domain and openly licensed catalogs, including Mutopia, Piano-MIDI.de, Wikimedia Commons, and OpenScore Lieder piano accompaniments. Search in English or Chinese, including composer names, work numbers, titles, and pinyin. Results show their source and license information. For other repertoire, publisher search links open external sites; those links are not in-app score downloads. Check each source's terms and your local rights requirements. AI SCORE RECOGNITION Use the on-device recognizer, or enable a supported cloud vision provider with your own API key. Available providers include Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, and OpenRouter. Recognition can make mistakes; review the notes before practicing. TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY PRACTICE Use the metronome with accent patterns, subdivisions, tap tempo, and familiar musical tempo terms. Explore Staff Notes, the interactive Circle of Fifths, Major vs Minor, a full piano keyboard, and a bilingual knowledge library about technique, theory, composers, and music. YOUR SOUND AND YOUR LIBRARY Use the included sampled piano or download an optional piano sound pack in Settings. Optional iCloud sync keeps your score library available on devices signed into the same Apple ID. PRIVACY Practice audio is analyzed on your device. Score photos are sent to your chosen cloud provider only when you enable cloud recognition and supply your own API key.
