What Playground Sessions is

Playground Sessions is piano-learning software for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. It pairs interactive video and sheet-music lessons with song lessons from its library. The Bootcamp and Courses contain more than 100 hours of video lessons, while membership includes more than 1,000 public-domain, traditional, and original songs as well as more than 1,000 copyrighted songs. While a user plays, the app offers real-time feedback, scoring, and progress tracking. Practice tools include measure looping, tempo changes, demo playback, backing tracks, a metronome, and note-accuracy scores. It works with acoustic pianos through device microphone pitch detection or with digital pianos and keyboards connected by USB or MIDI. Users can print sheet music; public-domain and traditional songs can be printed free, while copyrighted music printing costs $1.99. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan. The listed Annual plan is $8.33 a year, billed at $99.99 for the first year; Monthly is $19.99 a month, and Lifetime costs 219.99 USD once. Lifetime includes two years of unlimited copyrighted-song access, then $3.33 per month or $0.99 per song. An account is required, use is limited to two machines and two users, and the company recommends the software for ages 7 and older.
