Picture
**Piano Maestro is an extremely helpful app for the iPad which students of all ages love! We use it to strengthen sense of rhythm and pulse (through playing with background tracks) as well as practicing sight-reading and technique skills. It will be used regularly during lessons. BONUS: It is free for students of registered piano teachers. If you have access to an iPad, please let me know so I can connect your student to my account.
