Will this support a midi connection to an ipad (via usb to lightening adapter), so as to use a piano teaching app?

Yes. It works with the official APPLE Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and an external power source. However it is very fiddly: you have to first plug the camera adapter in the iphone / ipad. Then plug a iphone/ipad charger (wall wart) to the female lightning plug in the camera adapter to power the iOS device. Then you have to turn the piano on and finally, plug the USB cable to connect the piano to the camera adapter. Once this is done in this order it is possible to switch the piano on and off and even unplug replug into another iOS device. I tried it with an iPad and iPhone and several MIDI apps : SimplyPiano, MIDI Wrench, GarageBand.

How usable is this as a piano?

good for a beginner like me to learn chords fingering etc. convenient to carry around compared to the rollup keyboard, one can play chords, I found the rollup was not capable of playing more than one note at a time.
