Turn songs into piano rolls
Upload an audio file or paste a YouTube link, then the app converts the recording into a practice-ready piano roll.
Anything Piano
Anything Piano is an AI piano learning app that turns your songs into interactive piano rolls and listens as you play. Available on iPhone and iPad.
Interactive piano practice from your own songs
Anything Piano is an AI-powered piano learning app from Play Anything. It takes a song you choose, turns the recording into an interactive piano roll, and lets you practice by playing along while the app listens and responds.
The product is built for people who want to learn the songs they actually listen to rather than browse a fixed lesson catalog. According to the site, it accepts audio files or YouTube links, works with a MIDI keyboard or an acoustic piano, and is currently available on iPhone and iPad, with Android and web access on a waitlist.
Core capabilities
Real-time playing feedback
As you play, the app listens through your microphone and shows what you played correctly and what you missed.
One-hand and both-hands practice
Practice with either hand separately or both hands together, depending on the part you want to work on.
Accept multiple song sources
The app works with audio files and YouTube links, so you can bring in songs from outside a fixed catalog.
Piano-only input support
It is designed for piano only right now and supports both MIDI keyboards and acoustic pianos.
Practical ways to use Anything Piano
Learn a favorite song
Bring in a track you already want to learn, then practice it as an interactive piano roll instead of searching for a matching lesson in a catalog.
Split practice by hand
Work on the left-hand or right-hand part first, then switch to both hands once the passage feels comfortable.
Practice on the piano you already have
Use an acoustic piano or a MIDI keyboard and let the app judge accuracy through your microphone rather than requiring a cable-connected setup.
Convert online recordings into practice material
Paste a YouTube link when the song exists online but not as a downloadable lesson file, then practice from that source.

FAQ
What platforms does Anything Piano support?
Anything Piano is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. The site also says you can join the waitlist to be notified when it reaches Android or the web.
How does the learning flow work?
The app takes an audio file or a YouTube link, turns the recording into an interactive piano roll, and then listens as you play so it can show what you hit correctly and what you missed.
Do I need a MIDI keyboard to use it?
It is focused on piano only for now. The site says a MIDI keyboard or an acoustic piano both work, and it uses your microphone to hear your playing.
Does Anything Piano provide sheet music?
Anything Piano is not focused on sheet music today. The FAQ says the team is concentrating on the piano-roll experience first and will add sheet music later once the models are ready.
What kinds of songs can I practice?
The site says it works from recordings rather than a fixed catalog. If the recording contains piano, it can extract those notes directly; if it does not, it still builds a piano roll that matches the original recording as closely as possible.
