About ABRSM Piano Practice Partner
The OFFICIAL ABRSM Piano Practice Partner is a simple way to make practising pieces for your ABRSM exam more musical, enjoyable and rewarding. It is useful for anyone learning or teaching pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus 2017 & 2018 or 2015 & 2016.
"… immeasurably valuable for learning new repertoire … the app is brilliantly easy to navigate and inviting to use." BBC Music magazine
Let Practice partner play one hand while you play the other as you learn.
Use the ABRSM Piano Practice Partner to:
• Practise each hand separately to improve your fluency – focus on your left hand technique while Practice Partner plays the right hand, for example.
• Make practice more musical and enjoyable by having a virtual partner to play along with.
• Personalise it! Choose from over 20 different hands to customise your Practice Partner.
• Improve your control and general piano technique, helping you to become a more fluent pianist.
• Improve your sense of pulse! Using the unique guide function to help you count rests and tempo adjustments.
• Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo that suits you, for slow careful practice.
• Set loops to repeat parts of your piece if you need to focus on one section.
• Learn to memorise your music for more secure performances.
Piano Practice Partner comes with 3 Examples of music from Grades 1, 5 and 7 of the NEW ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces 2017 & 2018.

This app will be very useful as I used it on my piano teachers phone but I have a grade coming up and I would like to play with my pieces on my phone however I can't just buy my prices instead I have to buy the whole collection could you please change this so I only have to buy my peices

I saw the G3 Moody Prawn Blues and went great that's the one I need, but very disappointed not the full track. And £9.99 is the price of the whole paper book?? You could have individual track payment for those who have chosen their three exam pieces, surely? :(

At this level I think slowest performances need to be even slower. Pieces NEED to be available one at a time otherwise your only market is piano teachers, not home practice. People only play 3 of the 18 pieces in the exam, and may not need this level of help with all of them. £5.99 for all pieces is 33p each, but 40p or even 50p for each piece is likely to bring more revenue altogether. At this price I just wouldn't buy anything.

There seems to be a bug in the programming, the hands aren't disappearing when ask just one hand to play. Any ideas? The speech bubble doesn't switch off either. It worked on the trial version.

When a user navigates away from the app, it needs to stop playing the music. This is such a basic idea that any professional programmer would know.

Absolutely awful interface with obvious controls missing. Then I saw the cost of buying a grade worth of pieces... I don't think ABRSM quite understand how people think about payments on a tablet/phone!

If you receive full notation for those prices it would be worthwhile but as this app is more rhythm focused, £10 only for a rhythm app is too much. Would also be nice to have the whole range of grade 1-8 pieces.

Wouldn't install on my phone as it's so big (why 20Mb!?). Icons on main screen are confusing and non-obvious. Had to go check the instructions screens in detail to figure out what the pitch shifter wheel was because it didn't appear to do anything and it wasn't at all clear that it was in any way disabled and the odd O/I button enabled it. More time spent drawing more appropriate icons for the buttons (esp the happy/sad button) instead of more cute 'hands' would be well spent.

This app is so easy to use and makes practising one hand at a time a much more musical experience. Playing along with this app like they would with me in a lesson will really help my students during their practice and the hands are fun...they look to be inspired by some of the grade piece titles..nice touch!

I installed this app on my tablet and bought a piece of music. When I installed the app on my phone, Google says I already own the piece I bought but the app says I have all of the music purchased and it's nowhere to be seen. Very annoying.
