How to use virtual piano
- Choose an instrument sound and set the output volume before you begin.
- Press the labelled computer keys, click a piano key or touch it on a phone or tablet.
- Use octave down or up to move the mapped notes into a comfortable register.
- Turn sustain on when you want released notes to ring for longer.
- Select Record, play a phrase, then stop and use Playback to hear it again.
Practise better
Beginner tips that make a difference
Play slowly enough that every note begins cleanly before increasing speed.
Use the chord finder in another tab to discover note combinations, then practise them here.
A lower volume is usually clearer and more comfortable for longer sessions.
Good questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I play this piano on a phone?
Yes. The keyboard responds to touch and rearranges its controls for smaller screens. Landscape orientation gives the keys more room.
Why is there no sound at first?
Browsers require a click, touch or key press before starting audio. Interact with any piano key and audio will initialise.
Does the recording leave my device?
No. A recording is a temporary list of notes held in the current browser session. It is not uploaded or saved to an account.
Is a real piano needed to practise?
No. This tool is useful for learning note names and hearing intervals, although a physical keyboard is better for developing touch and posture.
