Awesome product! Totally loving it, tried it with my piano and it is just wonderful how it works together with the piano. The best part is that it is teaching you the notes and how to play them! Best product every (Just a bit too expensive in my opinion)

@xaviergeerinck wow - thanks for such valuable feedback, Xavier, and tremendous to hear how it's worked for you. Curious how much you’d expect to pay for the monthly subscription? We’ve just launched Skoove Premium which offers a broader catalog and exclusive, curated lessons added every month.

@florianplenge @xaviergeerinck I don't know if a monthly subscription is such a good idea. I can understand that it gets a good recurring revenue, but I simply do not feel like paying every month. Rather than that I would just pay once for a specific set of courses and then pay again once I finish that part. So more like the business model of having a 'game' that you buy and then you can buy 'dlc'. But once again, the courses are so detailed, well done! It's rarely that I find an idea/site that is so well executed!

@xaviergeerinck Thank you again for such great input. The monthly subscription is actually a tried and tested model for music education. Like I said, we add a lot of new content every month plus Premium users get full one-on-one support. But, as always, we’ll test it and then adjust if necessary ;-). Thanks again for your support!

Hey everyone, maker/co-founder here. Big thanks to @amberreyn for hunting us! With Skoove, our mission is simple: to help everyone have fun learning piano from anywhere and at their own pace! We designed it for beginners/”refreshers” to make it the easiest way to learn piano and to stay motivated. You just need a keyboard or e-piano to get going, and you can learn your first tune in minutes. We’re using Chrome’s native Web MIDI API to power our web app so that we can give instant feedback on your piano playing. So, budding Mozarts, @SaschaTurowski (our head of dev) and I would love to hear what you think! PS Product Hunters get an exclusive deal on our Premium subscription, so you can start playing today ;-)!

@florianplenge This really seems like the kind of product that would benefit from an introductory video, but I don't see one. Did I miss it? Also, I wish there was more to tell me how the product works. Do I play using the laptop/desktop keyboard (O_O)? If not, do I have to have an electronic keyboard? Can I use my existing keyboard? This looks pretty cool and I'm going to check it out, but I also think there should be more info on how it works before your prompt for signup :)

@matt_sven Skoove currently supports electronic keyboards or e-pianos that connect via USB/MIDI into your computer. We’ll be introducing support for acoustic pianos soon too. We’re currently working on a video to explain how our app works and, coming soon, you'll be able to try the app with your PC keyboard. Really appreciate all your constructive feedback and of course, please keep us posted about your progress with the app ;-).

I've had a play with Skoove. The thing I like most is that you quickly get that feeling that your making some real progress, which is really motivating. Practicing piano can be a real drag, this makes it fun!

@ourielohayon Great question! We're targeting beginners (12-years and up) and anyone who wants to brush up their skills / intermediate players. You get to learn at your own pace, get real-time feedback on your playing, and always track your progress. What's cool is that you can actually learn to play your first melody in a matter of minutes.

@ourielohayon That's great that you're an experienced pianist. Maybe we can pick your brain for our advanced courses ;-)? I am German, btw.
