Understand. Try. Play.

Learn piano with Okyla

Interactive tutorials to understand, exercises to practise, and the freedom to move on without getting stuck. You can start without a keyboard.

How it works

Free: all of keyboard discovery, and the first reading chapter in treble clef, around middle C.

An interactive tutorial: the instruction “Your turn: the same three notes, from left to right”, the staff and the keyboard — A tutorial that waits for you.

The interactive tutorials

One concept, several ways to discover it.

Tutorials don't all follow the same script: explanation, demonstration and taking part combine according to what there is to learn.

Listen

An explanation spoken by your device's speech synthesis, in your language.

Watch

The keys and the staff show what you're discovering.

Try

Most tutorials invite you to answer by playing.

Continue

If you hesitate, Okyla repeats, shows the key, then plays the answer.

A tutorial on two staves: the instruction above the staff, the expected note in green — Two voices on the move: each hand in turn.

A tutorial on the chord: three notes on the staff, three keys lit on the keyboard — Unfolding the chord: the keyboard shows the keys.

Without getting stuck

Help when you need it.

A mistake doesn't stop the lesson. If the difficulty lasts, Okyla offers a hint, then a demonstration, so you can keep going.

A tutorial helps you understand: it doesn't give a score. Mastering a concept happens in the exercises.

The Practice screen: the current tutorial and the domains of the path — Practice: where you stand, and what comes next.

The exercises

Then you play. Okyla listens.

Each exercise comes in several sequences: “Redo” the same one, or “New sequence” to play another.

Guided

The piano waits for you if you slip. For working out the notes without pressure.

Performance

You play in tempo, without stopping. It opens once Guided mode is mastered.

The start screen of an exercise: the learning goal, Guided mode and the instruments it can be played with — An exercise before you start: the goal, the mode, what it's played with.

Your progress

See where you stand.

“My path” shows what's done, what's left and the current step. “My Progress” tracks your playing time and your scores, domain by domain.

The “My path” screen: the current step, the next ones, and progress by domain

What you need

Start with what you have.

Nothing at all

The on-screen keyboard is played with your finger. To discover the notes and follow the tutorials, the tablet is enough, even on the go.

An acoustic piano

Okyla listens through the microphone: reading, scales and almost all the two-hand exercises. Chords and most rhythm exercises need a USB keyboard.

The most precise

A digital keyboard

Plugged in over USB, every note is read the moment you play it. Every exercise can be played this way.

Questions

Do I need to read music?

No, that's what Okyla teaches.

Can I start without a keyboard?

Yes. The on-screen keyboard is enough for keyboard discovery and the first notes.

Can I learn for free?

In part: all of keyboard discovery and the first reading chapter in treble clef, with its exercises and their new sequences. The rest of the path needs the subscription.

Are the tutorials mandatory?

No. They're offered before the exercises, without blocking what comes next.

Start with the keyboard.
