Play the piano from your computer with this fun program.

When you install the program on your computer, you'll be surprised at the information that is given as well as the details that you'll see. It's a program that allows you to pay attention to what the chords look like on a piano when they are played. There is so much information that is given on the screen, such as the type of chord that you are playing and how it sounds with the other chords that are on the piano.

All you have to do is click on the keys to hear the chords, combining them together to play songs. You can save the sounds that you make, sharing them online with others on social media or adding the sounds to songs that you already have on file. Each key glows on the screen as it's played, allowing you to easily see where you're clicking online. A touchscreen computer often works best with this program, and it will work a bit better with a mobile device that allows you to touch the screen.

You will see the virtual notes of the piano while playing. Each note can be labeled so that you can better understand how to play a piano. This is a good training tool for those who are just getting into playing the instrument. All of the top scales are included with the program. Chords can be inverted if needed, but this can be confusing at times if you aren't sure of the initial layout of the chords. A help system can give you ideas on how to play and which chords work best together.
