Do I need a MIDI keyboard?
Yes for measured practice. MIDI input, either Bluetooth or wired, is what makes timing, note, velocity, precision, and stability analysis possible.
FAQ
Common questions about measured Hanon practice.
Hardware, MIDI, practice data, and where this app fits among other piano tools.
Can I use the app with an acoustic piano?
You can browse exercises, review notation, and prepare sessions without MIDI. Measurement requires a MIDI-capable keyboard.
Is this a piano learning app?
Not in the usual sense. The Hanon Method is for data-driven technique practice, especially players who already value disciplined repetition.
What does the app measure?
The app uses MIDI data to review notes, timing, velocity, consistency, tempo stability, and progress over repeated sessions.
Why focus on timing?
Timing is often where control becomes visible. A passage can contain the right notes and still be uneven, rushed, late, or unstable.
Is this useful for teachers?
It can help turn repeated technique assignments into a clearer record of precision, reliable tempo, and recent practice history.
Does it replace a teacher?
No. It provides measurement and history. Interpretation, musicianship, sound, and broader technique still benefit from experienced instruction.
