Field notes
Lessons break songs into a few bars at a time, practicing each hand slowly before bringing them together. The built-in course is described as 45 lessons, while the song importer accepts MusicXML and MIDI; a single-track MIDI file is split at middle C, and PDF scores are not supported. The page says uploaded files stay on the user's device.
