I'm an adult beginning to learn piano using Flowkey. It's criticized by the experts but I feel like it does a relatively good job at teaching basic piano finger techniques. I have no wish to become a piano expert anyway, I play music as a hobby.
- kzrdude 6y agoI'm learning as an adult. My piano teacher keeps stressing musicality, feeling the music, feeling the beat, everything like that is more important than technique.
- jacquesm 6y agoThe interesting thing for me is that this software taught me more about chords, beats, timing and so on than any of the teachers that I've had over the years because it is endlessly patient.
- kzrdude 6y agoI guess. The teacher is the guide, to give direction, not to sit through the exercises you need to do with you.
- rtsil 6y agoThey are indeed more important than technique, but technique is a given. Without solid technique, musicality does not matter. Technique is what gives you confidence, it allows you to experiment and fine tune your artistic skills. To work on your expression instead of grappling with what's on the sheet. Acquiring (and maintaining) technique requires hard work and time, but it's relatively easy once you combine these two factors. Developing a good ear, a good sense of rhythm, when to play on tempo, slightly before the tempo or slighly after, really understanding the music, that is infinitely more difficult so it make sense for a teacher to stress that part.
