A piano course app from Berlin company Learnfield. Learners play a real or digital piano while Skoove listens, highlights what went well and what to fix, and moves them through courses on notes, chords, technique and theory, using 1,000+ songs from classical to pop. Skoove Basic gives selected free lessons; Premium unlocks everything. It is built for adults, and its terms let minors use it only with a guardian's consent.
Our take: A solid self-study option for teens or a parent learning alongside a child; not designed for young kids on their own.

BandLab Technologies (BandLab Singapore Pte Ltd) · ages 13+ on the public app; younger students only through BandLab for Education
BandLab for Education is a strong free pick for school music classes; teens can use the main app with a parent's okay, but younger kids should stay in the classroom version.
