Every note has a colour
C is red, D is orange, E is yellow… the same colours music classrooms use. Children match colour to colour long before they can read. Letters can be switched on for older kids.
Piano game for kids 4–10
The piano that waits for you.
Every note has a colour. The next one floats above its key, and the song waits until your child finds it. No timer, no score, no wrong notes. Just a real grand piano and a little bird called Bop.

How it works
Made for little hands and big smiles
The song waits
No conveyor belt, no countdown. The next note floats above its key and gently bounces until your child plays it. The two after it wait just above, so they can see what is coming.
Never wrong, only "not yet"
Every key plays a real piano note. A different key simply sounds its own note and lights its own colour. No buzzer, no red cross. Bop tilts his head and the bubble keeps bouncing.
Every song ends in a party
Three stars, confetti and a dancing Bop. Then your child can hear their own playing back. The stars are a moment of joy, not a score: nothing is counted or kept.

Just Play
Any key, any time
No song, no rules. Every key sends its colour floating up, chords and glissandos included, with up to ten fingers at once. And for silly moments, six sounds to pick from:
Tap a sound to hear it · Grown-ups can switch the silly sounds off. Songs always use the piano.
Meet Bop
A tiny bird with a big heart for music
Bop is your child’s piano buddy. He talks like a giggly friend, never like a teacher. Pianimo comes in English, Tiếng Việt, Nederlands and Deutsch.
Says hello
"Hi! I'm Bop. Press the red key and I'll sing!"
Shows the way
"Find the blue key!" Colour words are all a child needs.
Cheers along
"Ooh, lovely!" A little cheer at the end of each phrase.
Throws the party
Stars, confetti and a dance when the song is done.
Takes a nap
Pause and he dozes off, ready to carry on where you stopped.
For grown-ups
Peace of mind, built in

Grown-ups gate

Real multi-touch: chords, glissandos and two-hand duets.
A real grand piano
A sampled concert grand that plays as soon as a finger lands. Soft and firm taps sound different.

Questions
Grown-ups often ask
What age is Pianimo for?
Ages 4 to 10. Children who can’t read yet simply follow the colours. Older children can switch on letters (C, D, E…) and try the longer songs.
Do we need a real piano or keyboard?
No. The tablet or phone screen is the piano. Pianimo never uses the microphone, so it works anywhere, even in a noisy room.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets. Tablets give the biggest keys (up to ten); phones show eight.
Does it need the internet?
No. Pianimo works fully offline. Only the store needs a connection, when a grown-up buys or restores the song unlock.
Is it really free?
Yes. Just Play and 6 songs are free, with no ads and no time limit. A single one-time purchase unlocks every song, including the ones we add later. There is no subscription.
Can my child buy something by accident?
No. The purchase lives in the grown-ups corner, which opens only after holding the lock for 3 seconds. Then the App Store or Google Play asks for your confirmation as usual.
We bought it on another device. How do we get the songs?
Open the grown-ups corner (hold the lock for 3 seconds) tap “Unlock all songs”, then “Restore a previous purchase”. Use the same App Store or Google Play account you bought it with.
Does Pianimo teach real piano?
It builds the first steps: finding keys, hearing melodies, playing in time with your own pace and using all ten fingers. It does not teach sheet music. It’s a playroom, not a classroom.
What data does Pianimo collect?
None. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. A few settings are saved on the device only. Read the full privacy policy for details.
