Learn to play piano and read sheet music β explore, take quizzes, import real songs, and track your progress.

A piano can look like a wall of keys, but it's really one tiny pattern repeating over and over. Crack the pattern and you can find any note instantly.
The black keys come in groups of two and groups of three, again and again. That pattern is your map.
C is the white key just to the left of every group of two black keys. The C nearest the middle is Middle C. From any C the white keys climb the alphabet: CDEFGAB β¦ then repeat.
I'll name a note β find and press any key with that letter on the piano below.
Sheet music sits on a staff β 5 lines and 4 spaces. A note's height tells you which key to play: higher on the staff = higher pitch. The curly π treble clef marks the higher notes your right hand usually plays.

I'll show one note. Name it by tapping a letter below, or by playing it on the piano (any octave counts!).
Pick a song. Listen plays it for you; Practice lights up the next key and waits for you. Tip: click any note-chip to start from there.
Search a huge free library of MIDI songs, or drop in your own .mid file. I'll pull out the melody and turn it into a play-along lesson on the keys.
Every note you play, song you finish, and quiz you take is tracked right here in your browser. Build your streak!
