Help & Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Ultimate Piano free to use?
Yes. The core piano with full keyboard, MIDI support, score display, and chord detection is completely free. Premium unlocks additional features like the Practice Hub, all players, the metronome, capture tool, and cloud sync. You can try everything before deciding — no account required.
Do I need a MIDI keyboard to learn piano online?
No. You can play using your mouse or touch screen. However, a MIDI keyboard provides a much more natural experience, especially for practicing proper finger technique, dynamics, and inversions. The Ultimate Piano supports any USB MIDI keyboard via the Web MIDI API.
Which browsers work with The Ultimate Piano?
Chrome, Edge, and Safari offer the best experience with full feature support including MIDI keyboards. Firefox works well but requires a permission add-on for MIDI. For the smoothest experience, use a desktop or laptop computer.
Can I use The Ultimate Piano on a phone or tablet?
Yes, but with limitations. The app requires landscape orientation and uses touch input only — MIDI keyboards are not supported on mobile browsers. For the full experience including MIDI keyboard support and all practice features, use a desktop or laptop computer.
What can I learn with The Ultimate Piano?
You can learn chords (triads through extended jazz chords), scales (major, minor, modes, pentatonic, blues, and more), note reading, ear training (intervals, chord qualities, scale recognition), chord progressions across 8 genres, and song practice with MIDI files, audio, or YouTube tutorials. The Practice Hub tracks your accuracy, speed, and progress over time.
