Pony Piano MIDI is a free iPhone app developed by Sylvain Nowe that offers an exciting way to learn and play classical melodies. With a collection of 16,000 tunes from IMSLP, users can immerse themselves in the world of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven while having fun on their smartphones.

One of the standout features of Pony Piano MIDI is the smart score scrolling on the staff, which allows users to play along with the music on their MIDI keyboard. The app also offers the ability to adjust the tempo and pitch, encouraging creativity and experimentation.

Children will particularly enjoy the animated dancing ponies that react to each note pressed on the keyboard. This interactive element helps young learners connect the piano keys to the notes on the staff, making learning an enjoyable experience.

To use Pony Piano MIDI, users will need an Apple USB Camera adapter or a third-party USB On-The-Go adapter to connect their MIDI keyboard to their mobile device. The app offers 10 hi-fidelity sounds to choose from, ensuring a high-quality audio experience.

With its combination of learning and play, Pony Piano MIDI offers the best of both worlds. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced pianist, this app provides hours of musical enjoyment and the opportunity to uncover your hidden talents.
