For teachers

Playable Notes could save around 15–30 minutes when you would otherwise rewrite a piano piece by hand to make it simpler, give it an easier left hand or move it to another key for one student. You still play through what it produces and check it before you hand it out.

Illustration, not a measured result. The minutes are a typical classroom estimate based on what this tool is for. They are not a guarantee, not data from a school, and not part of the red, amber or green rating.
