Flowkey Review – The Definitive Review

If you are searching for an effective online piano course, you are going to enjoy this review.

I suggest you take a look at what Flowkey has to offer.

You will find Flowkey very user-friendly and fun.

In this review, I will show you in details everything you need to know about this piano program.

If you’re ready, let’s dive in:

Simple, Easy-to-Use Learning Platform

Sometimes we get overwhelmed by online piano learning sites, not necessarily because there are too much materials, but mainly because the sites are poorly designed. 

That’s totally not the case here.

The first thing I noticed about Flowkey is how nice their site looks.

It’s very neatly designed that gives you a very fresh feeling.

The platform looks very simple and user-friendly:

The fact that the learning site is simple and easy-to-use does not mean the content and curriculum are inadequate – far from it!

Flowkey has a great curriculum and rich content for students of all levels.

Now, let’s get back to how easy it is to use the platform. 

First, Choose Your Level…

Once you get on the site, the first thing you do is choose your level on the very top. Simple enough.

After you choose your level, you choose the genre or style of music you are interested in.

At Flowkey, there are a variety of genres and styles of piano music you can choose to start with – pop, classical, film, video game music, R & B, Jazz, Rock, etc. 

You can even choose the music according to moods – happy, melancholy, energetic, romantic, mellow, and many others.

The categories are very well-divided that make it easy for the user to choose.

Songs or Lessons…That is the Question!

After you have chosen your level and genre, you are almost ready to start your lessons.

You will get a big list of the most-popular songs you can scroll down on to pick your songs.

For people who don’t like to start with a formal curriculum, this is a good place to start.

However, if you’re more of an old-fashioned student like me who needs a well-structured and more focused curriculum, Flowkey’s got you covered as well.

Flowkey has a variety of piano courses you can choose from that takes you step-by-step, lesson-by-lesson in the area of piano playing you would like to improve in.   

Impressed?

I haven’t enough shown you the best parts of Flowkey.

Awesome Features for You to Learn Piano

Now, I want to show you in detail what the lessons are like, and you are going to love it!

I always loved the piano and have tried several online piano courses.

But I’ve noticed one problem for the video lessons for piano – it’s hard to see what keys the teacher is playing, because the finger movement are just too subtle and fast.

When I was going through the video lessons on Flowkey, I saw a feature that I’ve always wanted to see from an online piano course:

You see the exact notes that the teachers are playing on the screen – all the keys being played are highlighted with color.

I really appreciate this.

Flowkey has done a good job fulfilling a need for online piano students.

Also, you can see the basic structure of the lesson – you get to see visually how the song is being played and the interactive virtual sheet music at the bottom.

This is just one of the many user-friendly features for the Flowkey lessons.

There are so much more.

Slow motion

If the song is too fast for you in the beginning, you can select slow motion to practice the song.

The video and virtual sheet music will slow down simultaneously without any audible distortion.

The more I look at it, the more I love it at Flowkey!

Loop function  ​

You can highlight a section of the music to practice as a loop for as many times are you want until you totally master it. This is pretty basic feature of online piano courses.

The best is yet to come.

Select a Hand​

If you’re like me and feel that the piano can be too complicated, too many keys being played at the same time, don’t worry, they really break things down for you at Flowkey.

Not only can you select slow motion, you can also select which hand to focus on. The hand that you selected with be highlighted for you to better learned the piece with separate hands.

From my experience with learning the piano, practicing with separate hands is extremely important if you want to master the piece. This feature is definitely great for students to build a solid foundation for playing the piano.

Wait Mode

This is my favorite feature at Flowkey – the Wait Mode!

As the name suggests, the video and virtual music will wait for you to play each note.

You don’t even have to connect your computer to a midi. Flowkey will detect each note you’re playing and give you feedback along the way.

So when I say they break things down for you, they really break it down to the last bit.

How better can it get?

So…How Much Does it Cost?

One of the best things about online piano courses is saving big bucks on piano lessons.

If you’re busy like me and don’t have too much extra money to spend on music lessons, consider giving Flowkey a try. The price is most affordable and only a tiny fraction of traditional piano lessons.

If you love the piano like me but never really have a chance to develop the skill, I suggest you invest in yourself with a great program like this.

If you’re worried about the price, let me tell you, the price cannot get lower than this. If you found one that’s cheaper, I suggest you check the quality of the course.

At last, we have a higher success rate if we pay a price for learning.

Trust me, if it’s free or dirt cheap, you will not benefit a fit from it, because you will not appreciate it and will just treat it like crap. That’s just human nature!

If you have desired to learn the piano for the longest time, give Flowkey a try. And you can try it out for free.

What I Don’t like about Flowkey

For every review I make, I try to look at both the positive and negative sides to make this a balanced review.

However, it’s going to hard for this one, because I love almost everything about Flowkey.

It’s easy to use, very user-friendly, awesome features, very extensive curriculum, cool web design, and on and on.

I guess if I have to come up with something negative, the only one I can think of is the lack of a real teacher to give you personal feedback. 

If that is something you are looking for – more personal instruction, I suggest you check out my review on another awesome piano course – Popular Piano by Hugh Sung.

My Final Conclusion

I can’t help but give Flowkey one of the highest ratings I have ever given on an online piano course.

If you are looking for an online piano course that is going to give you the best user-experience, I highly suggest you try Flowkey. You can try it for free right now!

I think user-experience is extremely important, because if you like what you see, you are going to stick with it. You will have faith in the program and, in the end, you are going to be most effective in your piano learning.
