"Truly mind-blowing" – Christina Warren, Mashable
"Smule's Magic Piano app kept me entranced for an embarrassing amount of time" – Rachel Metz, Associated Press ___________________________________
The App currently includes Bach's Prelude in C, Joplin's The Entertainer, The Star Spangled Banner, God Save the Queen, Mozart's Turkish March, Be Still My Soul, Amazing Grace, Chopsticks, Final Fantasy Prelude, Gershwin's It Ain't Necessarily So, Pachelbel's Canon in D, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker March, Auld Lang Syne, and many more timeless pieces.
Smule continues to work on future versions of the Magic Piano, and will be adding new songs to the Song Book regularly. Note that all songs are updated automatically. Just check the Song Book periodically to find new music.
Search Youtube for "Smule Magic Piano" to see it in action, including Lang Lang's recent encore on the iPad in San Francisco. ___________________________________
Impress your friends with how quickly you’ve mastered “Für Elise” and "Be Still, My Soul", or just have fun playing the video game classic “Final Fantasy Prelude”.
You can play bundled songs from the Magic Piano Song Book by following beams of light. Set the difficulty level depending on your Magic Piano expertise or your mood.
If you want a slightly more traditional experience, you can set the Piano to respond to your hand placement. Make notes louder by playing higher on the iPad, softer by playing lower.
You get to determine what your keyboard looks like – if you want fewer keys or wider keys or different modes, just use pinch and touch gestures to the side of the piano keyboards.
Travel around the Smule Globe to find other Piano users. Simply select “duet mode” and Magic Piano will create warp holes and connect you with others. You can play back and forth for a bit, and then the roulette wheel will spin again and you’ll meet another new person. ___________________________________

8 of 25I love this app on my iPhone.. It's so fun, but then I got it on the iPad and was just super-uber disappointed, don't waste your money on this.... They need a update and make it just like the iPhone version
Dont waste your money get iphone version!
The iPad version is absolutely horrible. The iPhone version has points and levels to beat and different challenges. This app is useless compared to that one.
Great now add still alive
Smule: I was impressed with your iPhone/iPod touch app Magic Piano, which by the way was free. I also enjoyed leaf trombone, even though I only had one free song. But I was thoroughly unimpressed with Magic Piano HD. The fact that I cannot add any more songs, or play them correctly, and the duet feature, wa a complete waste of your time, and mine. I will never pay for another app by Smule ever again. The apps that you produce are usually difficult to figure out, and annoying.
I love this app. The first time I downloaded it I got all 45 free songs. I deleted it because it froze up, and when it was downloaded the 2nd time, only a few of them were there. I have been playing piano for 7 years and this is the ONLY piano I will ever need. Keep up the fantastic work, Smule!
Totally unchallenging apps compared to the iPhone version! Total discredit to the company to sell such a game! Actually the Help is linked to the iPhone version ...
Wow, I like this app a lot! Only one problem, the duet mode (multiplayer) has too many annoying people that don't actually play piano, they just make a lot of noise, please put in a "block" button so don't have to play with them!
