Playground Forums

Hello modr, Most people (in the forums anyway) have given up asking. The thought being, when the new version gets here, it gets here. The teachers have been pumping out content like there is no tomorrow and that is fantastic. The company obviously has software development issues though. What those i...

Hello Ronny, You probably figured this out already, but PGS has a lot of early exercises that utilize only one hand. So, when you see two treble clefs, play the first line your right hand, then play the second with your right hand. Easiest way to see what to do is to press PLAY on an exercise and wa...

IvoryCoaster, You might try MuseScore. It is music composition software. I use it with Linux on a desktop, but there is an iOS version. I use it for the same thing - creating versions of the original Hanon's, Scales, etc from The Virtuoso Pianist. Starting to outgrow PGS when it comes to the finger ...

Hello Andy, I am sure at some point they will want to do localization with the app, but I don't think they have done anything yet. Since we are pretty much all end users here, send an email to: support@playgroundsessions.com and include your suggestion. They will get it to the developers and after t...

Hello riverkeys,

In the desktop version the metronome can be set for anything from 1 to 256.

Scatcher, Your question might be best answered by customer service at support@playgroundsessions.com as these forum boards are mostly end users.

I suggest that you first go to the upper right corner of this page and search on the word "practice". You will find posts from many people explaining how they practice each day. A...

Hello Fatts - welcome to the club. A LOT of adult learners here, so you'll have plenty of support here in the forums. A number of people have found that doing the course "Reading Music - Staff Notation (Rookie)", at the beginning of the rookie bootcamp helps a lot.

Good luck!

Hello SeeKay, I think you can give yourself a break with Game of Thrones. That lesson has been notorious for causing frustration with the learners. I have played it at least 100 times and only earned 100% twice. Others have had similar experiences. I don't know what the problem is. Anyway, since you...

OK Linux users, just wanted to let you know about a potential issue running PGS on Linux. I upgraded to Fedora 34 - kernel 5.12.9-300.fc34.x86_64, WINE 6.9 (staging). After that, Playground Sessions would crash every time I ran it, while the splash page was appearing but before that opening melody p...
