MusTech.Net Quick Text Review:
A great app. for showing the piano, playing melodies, and demonstrating harmonic concepts.  There is a slight bit of delay (latency) when using this application (especially when multiple keys are pressed).  The sound is great and I highly recommend this for music educators to have on their iPads for classroom demonstration purposes.

Recommended for your iPad music tool arsenal?  Yes.

Caveats: If this becomes AD enabled, like the iPhone version it will become a “tough sale”.  If they do put ads on this app., I hope they do it more tastefully than the iPhone version…
