About the Virtual Piano
Press any key on the piano to hear its note. You can play with your mouse, by tapping on a touch screen, or by pressing the matching letter keys on your computer keyboard, which are shown on each piano key. The white keys play the main notes and the smaller black keys play the sharps in between. Pick a song from the menu to see a simple guide of which notes to press, then play along at your own speed.
Fun ways to use it
Try the song guides to learn easy tunes like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Mary Had a Little Lamb. Once you know a song, see if you can play it without the guide. You can also just explore and make up your own little melodies, which is a lovely first step into music.
Why it is good for kids
Playing a piano builds listening skills, rhythm and finger control, and it is a friendly first taste of making music. Following the song guides also helps with reading and remembering a sequence, all while having fun.
