Yousician
A music learning app that listens as you play and gives real-time feedback on guitar, piano, ukulele, bass and singing. Premium+ unlocks all five instruments, and a Family plan covers four accounts.
What is Yousician?
Yousician is a music learning app from Yousician Ltd. You play your real instrument, and the app listens through your device's microphone and shows in real time whether you hit the right notes and rhythm. It covers five instruments: guitar, bass, piano, ukulele and singing.
Yousician says it has more than 10,000 songs, lessons and exercises, with new songs added weekly. The App Store lists it as an Editors' Choice with a 4.6-star average.
How it works
Pick an instrument and follow a learning path built by music teachers. Each step mixes short video lessons, exercises and songs. You can slow songs down, repeat tricky sections, and speed up as you improve. Progress, streaks and rewards keep practice feeling like a game.
A typical session is 10 to 30 minutes. Teens and adults can run it alone. Younger kids often need help reading the on-screen cues.
What it covers
| Instrument | Typical skills |
|---|---|
| Piano | Melodies, chords, both hands, sight reading, key signatures, ear training |
| Guitar | Chords, strumming, riffs, fingerpicking, technique tracking |
| Bass | Grooves, rhythm, technique |
| Ukulele | Chords, strumming, songs |
| Singing | Pitch, range, vocal exercises |
Who it's best for
Yousician fits families where one child wants guitar and another wants piano, since Premium+ and the Family plan cover all five instruments. It also suits teens who want to play songs they already know. For a kids-first piano method with theory and ear training, look at Hoffman Academy. Browse more arts and music programs.

Can a scholarship or ESA pay for it?
Possibly. Some ESA programs allow music lessons and learning apps, but rules on app subscriptions vary, and we did not find Yousician listed in an official program marketplace. Each program decides. Check your state, such as Arizona or Utah, or start at our scholarships hub. Save Yousician to your wishlist and apply once on Edulist.
