Practice makes perfect. Even better if the process is quick, fun, relevant, and rewarding. This is what Melodics is all about. It's a desktop application that teaches you to play music, hands-on, step-by-step from beats to melodies, and with varying difficulty levels across a wide breadth of musical genres. The way it works is by detecting key-presses and scoring your timing in each lesson. It also keeps track of your progress with achievement badges and analytics so it will keep you motivated to stay in the game to improve daily.

All you need is just a standard MIDI keyboard, pad controller, or drums to get started. Melodics also has special support for most popular brands and instruments like Native Instrument's Maschine and Ableton Push, so you will also get access into additional lessons and courses that are specifically tailored to bring the best out of your setup. Just plug-in and play.

The application is free to download and use right away with 60 lessons from the get go. To unlock the rest of the 400+ lessons and 30 courses, there is a fee of $13.99 per month on a monthly subscription. The good news is that Melodics is currently on discount for annual subscribers, going at $4.99 per month. It's a great offer, considering that it's widely supported by the electronic music industry, with new content added weekly to an already impressive and growing library.

I'm currently actively using the application and can say that it's well worth the subscription. Below are the commercial videos from Melodics. See it in action:-
