Description

The OFFICIAL ABRSM Piano Practice Partner is a simple way to make practising your ABRSM Exam pieces more musical, enjoyable and rewarding.

"… immeasurably valuable for learning new repertoire … the app is brilliantly easy to navigate and inviting to use." BBC Music Magazine

Let Piano 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.
• Improve your control and general piano technique, helping you to become a more fluent pianist.
• 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.
• Personalise it! Choose from over 20 different hands to customise your Practice Partner.

Piano Practice Partner comes with three examples of music from Grades Initial, 5 and 7 of the NEW ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces 2023 & 2024.

In app you may purchase:
• Grade selections
- All pieces from the 2023 & 2024 ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Initial Grade - Grade 8.
- All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Initial Grade - Grade 8.

• Individual pieces
- Any individual piece from the 2023 & 2024 ABRSM Piano Syllabus, Initial Grade - Grade 8.*
*Pieces A4-A10, B4-B10 & C4-C10 from each Grade can be purchased within the 2021 & 2022 syllabus.

The following pieces from earlier ABRSM syllabuses are also available to purchase in-app:

• 2021 & 2022 syllabus
- All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-8.
- All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Grades 1-8.

• 2019 & 2020 syllabus

- All other (alternative) pieces from the ABRSM Piano Syllabus for Grades 1-8.

• 2015 & 2016 syllabus
- All pieces from the ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces books for Grades 1-3.

Please note that it is not possible to use standard audio files or CD recordings with Piano Practice Partner. Piano Practice Partner uses custom file formats that provide separate playback of left- and right-hand parts. This content is more feature-rich and uses very different technology to standard audio files. It is therefore only possible to buy these specialised Practice Partner pieces from within the app via in-app purchase.

Guide does not work

There are some pieces where it allows you to turn on the guide - depending on the number of rests or changes in tempo in the piece. I tried it out and it doesn’t seem to work. I don’t hear or see any guide.

Other than that, the app is pretty simple. It would help that aside from the option of slowing down the piece or isolating the hands, there is also a built-in metronome.

Developer Response ,

Hi ngretuta,
A guide has been provided where there is a long rest in one or both hands, or where there is a difficult change in tempo. Some pieces do not feature either of these so do not have a guide option. Please note that in order to hear the guide, one of the hands must be switched off.

Bad just Bad

This app is terrible and don’t listen to them when they say they have 5star rewiews that is because they only have 3! And sorry for my grammar.
