How to play The Barber of Seville on piano
- Learn each hand on its own before putting them together. In the app, choose Left or Right and the other hand plays for you, so you still hear the whole piece.
- Use Wait mode for the first few runs, then play along at 50% speed with the count-in.
- Work in short sections of four to eight bars rather than always starting from the top.
- Start with the level 2 version. When you've learned about 80% of it, move on to the next harder version; the notes you already know make it quicker to learn.
- Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.
In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned. New to the piano? Start with the beginner lessons. Get early access.
