Imagine learning Spanish then switching to learn music in a second

Ive been using duolingo for a couple years now. Ive kearned the spanish labguage pretty well at this point. Can speak it casually at all. I dont think duolingo's goal is ever mastery or even useful learning. I think their goal is to give you knowledge of the subject matter and a good jumping off point for more advanced learning.

A music course in a language app is a great idea

In my opinion, it’s supposed to give you an understanding of piano (and maybe other instruments, shit that’d be cool), so you understand basic concepts, rhythms, and notes. Same with the language parts of the app, it only gives you an understanding of the language, and the top priorities when learning (So when you take lessons or classes you understand some of it). Nobody has became fluent with Duolingo, and nobody will become a pianist from Duolingo, it just reinforces that skill, and they are doing that phenomenally.

I think that duolingo moving into other areas is an incredible idea, but if they are going to do so they need to make their math courses and their music courses on par with their language courses, I am a beginner pianist and I skipped straight to the last level which is something I dont think i should be able to do, for their math course them teaching more advanced concepts like algerbra, geometry, or even higher level ones would be an absolute game changer for students studying.

I already know how to read and play music, so I’ve been doing the Duolingo version for fun. One of my favorite things is the color coded notes! Cause I like music, and I like colors. It’s great and has been really fun to practice

It is weird, I agree. I already play piano but tried this app just for fun. The hardest part to wrap my mind around was that you can’t rest your fingers on the keys like you would on a real piano. Makes sight reading much more difficult when you’ve got to check visually for each key instead of just feeling them because your hands are already on them. Still for teaching a new student the notes, I suppose it has it’s place.

i need duolingo to just do the ear training exercises and id be on it

I got a simply piano ad before this😭

Yoo, I remember watching you back in 2019 when u only had like 30k subs and now you have over 300k! It's great to see your quality of videos getting better and better over the years. (Currently listening to Moved On)

I hope they add Through the Fire and Flames by Dragon Force

bro don't pull out the duolingo beginner music course in the middle of a date 😭😭

For the first minute, I thought Duo Lipa released it and was wondering why. I'm slow.

I've been doing it and I think it was good for me to learn the basics of musical notation, something I've always wanted to learn but never have, and it inspired me to buy a real keyboard and learn to play. So, no I don't think when you're done with the course you are ready to play much of anything, but it does serve as a nice intro, much the way their math program is very basic.

Good idea, not the best experience. Very cool video, didn’t know this existed

Is not the point of it just to make it easier to grasp basic music theory? It isn't a "piano course," after all, it's a music course.

music is a launguage too

I could see them adding a piece of hardware like what rocksmith did but with pianos. Chances are people who have an interest in learning piano already have one or plan on buying on.

Trying to play the keyboard on a phone is hard in the later lessons. It would be helpful to have the sheet music posted somewhere.

I think this could be great. As it is, there’s a lot of problems…I tested to level 70 in two days (I’m a professional musician and mediocre piano player) and only at the end of THAT was I actually presented with the song “playing along” feature which is incredibly hard on a phone. 😂 Are people supposed to be doing this on a computer keyboard where they can use more than one or two fingers at a time?? Anyway…hopefully this will gather info for a second generation of the program…

Owl mf otw kidnap my family after i fail to play c#7sus2add11flat9flat13 chord

i’ve played piano for 11 years and the actual playing was so hard on the app 😭 still a fun way to get easy xp

Thank God the app cab always update

I feel like they could make a pretty good voice training course for singing notes on duolingo

Synthesia + laptop + piano that can handle midi, that's the winning combo to learn to play a fun way.

You’re so funny 😤

Is duolingo had midi support or (like you mentioned) note recognition using the speaker, this would be the ultimate cheap music course

0:13 do you have a link for Musician? I'm looking for something that I can use my actual MIDI/synth with.

I play guitar but for school I need to know music theory so this is good for me

my Duolingo app’s music course doesn’t sound, how can I fix?

Where. To get math n music?

We're going full circle having asian parents force you to learn piano Now the owl will force you to learn piano... and he has your family hostage

guys why isn't the music course on android how do i get it

Wholeheartedly agree with your point about playing piano on touch screen. I was just saying to my friends, it's my least favorite part of the course. Why can't I connect a USB keyboard to this? Why isn't it on desktop? Once they add these features this will be a much more worthwhile course. Not a terrible start though!

Music or the clinic

How do i play this its not on the app😢

How do you do it for music?

Its not that different, but the main thing it’s doing is teaching you to sight read

And they forgot to put it on Samsung

Is the sight reading thing just for treble clef, cuz I play bass mostly and that's not where I live.

I dont have the update, but I saw some videos and I think that the lessons are terrible. I expected it to teach music theory like the keys and notes etc(I dont know how they are called as I have learned them in Greek) and the only things of which I saw is just the notes and the sound(of which doesnt have the hier pitch or lower pitch) not even the keys ( κλειδια in greek( Not, Fa, Sol)) it would have been cool if it caught sound from an actual intrument but at the current state, its just terrible.

It's a music theory course, not a piano course. The keyboard in there is just the easiest way applying/showing what you've learned. From what I've seen, the course is made to understand how creating music works, knowing that it isn't random notes and that there's a reason why each note is where it is.

Guys do i really need an iphone for music ane math? I cant afford it :c

As someone who has no music knowledge I find the course very hard to keep up with

I wish it had bass clef instead of just treble clef

This will be the hardest language on doulingo

Bro I’m already done with all 69 units and beaten the last song in duolingo

How did you try the music course on duolingo? I wanna try it too

It sounds a lot like their language courses. You learn the words, but they're not especially useful in real life. Sort of like "I eat your sparrow" in Vietnamese. "Toi an chim se cua ban! Not sure when I will use this in Vietnam.

It’s also too easy. I skipped to the last corse and finished it. So yeah

i never got this music course yet

if you're on a date and want to kill time 😆

I mean they could use european notes i get confuseeeed

It's a free app that aims to give people some mental workouts to kill time rather then doom scrolling social media all day. It's not going to give the same level as actual paid music or language classes. It's free learning and it's great for what it is.

Sadly its not for android users

Hello redlightblue love you

It's not a "piano" training app, it's made specifically for learning music theory which will help you translate that skill over to using it on a Digital Work Station and create music. Sorry to say but you have approached this review from a very wrong perspective.

man they'll do anything but add sign language

hello

hi

First!
