I haven’t once felt discouraged by the app. I enjoy it. I can’t wait to get off of work and get home to take a lesson or two. My creative bone is itching and I listen to all the pop songs that come up on my shuffle and I think “I can do that. I know I have the ability to create something like that.” Melodics has given me a confidence that I hadn’t previously had.
Mikey - Melodics user It fills a really important gap in how music and music theory is taught. I always wanted to get better at piano to help with production but the task oriented nature of Melodics helped me actually do it.
Derek - Melodics user I always joked that i can play any chord you name if you give me 10 minutes, as this was true. After about 3 months of using melodics 10 minutes a day or so, things clicked into place and I can play the keys now.

FAQs
Our approach to music education is this - confidence is key: positive reinforcement and building good habits around practice creates a really powerful feedback loop. A simple but really powerful idea here is that greatness isn’t born, it’s grown.
The word practice can leave a bad taste in your mouth, at least as it’s used musically. It raises images of endless scales and aching hands trying to get the fingering right for an CMaj7♯11 chord on the guitar.
For many of us - brought up on hip hop / techno / jungle / EDM / a million other micro-genres, that approach doesn’t fit with what we feel in the music. The energy. The fun.
However – practicing by repeating something over again is still the best way to improve, and that’s as true of learning to play music as it is anything else.
So with Melodics we make your practice fun using motivational mechanics and practice goals. But don’t take our word for it, check out what some of our happy customers are saying here.
Our Melodics lessons relate to the wider world of written music. You may notice that the design of these hints at the bass and treble clef of piano sheet music. This is designed to sub-consciously develop your spatial recognition of key interval structures and make it easier for you to transfer your learning between different contexts.
If you find that you aren’t making the progress you’d like and Melodics isn’t for you, you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time within the app. Or if you’re paying via PayPal, you can cancel your subscription from within your PayPal account. You’ll still have full access to everything until the end of your payment period, and you can continue to play all the free lessons after your subscription has ended. Your progress won’t be lost!
You can use your computer keyboard, but it doesn’t cover a full range of keys and you won’t be able to complete many lessons, but it’s enough to give you an idea of how awesome Melodics is.
