Steinway & Sons, a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc., debuted version 2.0 of its breakthrough Etude app for learning, reading, and buying sheet music on the Apple® iPad®. This latest version of Etude adds a growing commercial sheet music store, new ways to display and read music, and a refined interface.

Etude represents a leap forward in digital sheet music, offering an interactive experience that makes musical notes come alive on screen, helping users learn and play the music they love. The app offers seamless in-app purchasing and downloading of sheet music and affords the user a variety of options to hear how the music should sound and how it is played. All of these features are included in a powerful package that sits elegantly atop the user’s piano or keyboard.

“Steinway & Sons enjoys a long history of innovation and dedication to music education,” said Dana Messina, CEO of Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. “With Etude, we continue to set a standard for excellence in discovering, learning and playing music while growing ever closer to our family of teachers, students, musicians and future Steinway & Sons customers.”
