About project

Our client had an idea of creating an application that would help with teaching kids piano lessons. She already had a ready-made product that did not work correctly due to the low-quality code. It was necessary to fix bugs and tidy up the design.

User flow

An easy app’s flow leads the user through the process of choosing a necessary mode of playing, theme, and level of difficulty.

Logo & icon

As our main design goal was to make this educational app smart and fun, we choose the bright color palette to achieve it. We’ve also created a minimalistic and vibrant logo that depicts piano keys.

Real piano

This mode helps users to play notes on their real piano: it hears you play the notes appearing on the mobile screen. With the hint buttons, the user can also learn note names on demand.

Virtual piano

Virtual piano mode allows users to play their own 4-octave keyboard when they don’t have an opportunity to play a real piano. Practice anywhere, even on airplanes!

Levels

Note Quest app allows choosing five levels of difficulty depending on the user’s experience. Each level has a short description to help understand what level to choose.

Themes

We tried to make a learning process as convenient as possible, so we’ve created beautiful themes aimed to improve the user’s learning experience.

Result

We completely redesigned the application in 2 months and rewrote the entire code from scratch in 2 weeks. Now the application is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and is successfully used for learning in classes or practicing at home.
