Playing "Ode to Joy" using PianoAngel app

[Updated: The instructional video is ready!]


Let's start to play piano using PianoAngel.
We have prepared a sample sheet music for you: "Ode to Joy":
You can view and download / print the sheet music in our shared document page.

We will now guide you through the simple preparation steps to play this song using PianoAngel.

After launching PianoAngel,  Tap on the Settings icon  to bring up settings window.

In the settings window, change to song list page by tapping "New/Load" tab in the upper tab bar.
Click "Create New" to create a new song setting entry.

Tap "Song" tab and after changing song name in "Song Name" field, turn on "Edit Chords" switch.

Tap "Display" tab and tap on the 3rd option of "Melody Display" setting.

Tap the "X" button on the upper left corner of the settings window.

Then we will modify the chord assignment of some chord buttons.
Tap and hold on the first "CMaj7" chord button until the chord picker appears.
Change the right part of the chord to "Major".
 Tap "Apply" to save the change. The first chord button will be assigned to play "C" chord instead of "CMaj7".
Change the 3rd chord button "G7" to "G Major" in the same way.



The preparation is done!
You can now play melody using the piano keys and also the chords by swiping or tapping on chord buttons in the way you like.

You can also tap on the "play" button to start playing chords automatically. You just tap on a different chord to change the playing chord.





You can vary your playing style by adjusting "Chord Intensity" and "Melody Intensity" sliders which is in the "Sound" tab of the settings window.
Also the volume of each part can be tweaked via the respective volume slider in the same page.

Enjoy playing! :)
