Celestial - Learn to play piano 1.1
Device: iOS Universal
Category: Music
Price: Free, Version: 1.0 -> 1.1 (iTunes)
Description:An app to learn to play piano using your USB MIDI keyboard. You can learn to play the song you want by searching for the midi file on the internet. The music will be presented as falling note on your iphone. Your phone will wait for you to find the correct keys on your physical device! Or you can watch your phone plays with the virtual keyboard.
This is the first app to provide playing falling note on iPhone with MIDI keyboard device. It is similar to the popular arcade Piano Hero and Sythesia app which works only with iPad and PC.
This app makes learning to play piano very simple. Instead of taking 5 years to learn to play Mozart Turkish March, you can do it in a few month without the need to read complex music score.

Please note this app is totally free of charge. It is something that I develop out of my passion for music.
