Thanks for the recommendation. Ah yes, Synthesia looks familiar - I've seen YouTube videos of people playing fast compositions with colors flying by in 3D.

Good point about the game interface, how getting too used to playing with the color indicators does not translate to sheet music during performances. I think I'll prefer to look at sheet music during practice too.

I'm checking out the other apps you mentioned. So interesting to see successful implementations of the "gamified learning" concept, with piano and other instruments. I can imagine a similar approach might work for other areas of study, like language learning.

Yes, the giant in the language learning area is Duolingo and there are probably too many to list smaller ones. I wrote one word quizz app for myself when I was in high school, too bad startups weren't a thing back then.
