Getting started
Install, connect your piano and play your first song.
My First Piano
Plug in your digital piano, pick a song, and play along as colorful notes fall onto the keys. Made for children, and just as good for parents and adults starting out.
Available for Windows from the Microsoft Store, as a Free edition and a Pro edition.
How it works
- Colors and names on every key, so a beginner can find each note right away.
- Falling notes show what to play and when. In “Wait for me” mode the song waits until you find the right note.
- Practice at your own speed, from slow to faster than normal, one hand or both.
- Works with your piano over USB (MIDI). You can also play with the computer keyboard.
- In English, Spanish and Portuguese. Choose the language in Settings; the first time, the app uses the language of Windows.
- Players. Everyone in the family can keep their own progress, songs and settings.
- Find the Note, a short game that teaches where every note lives on the keyboard.
- My progress. Stars, days in a row and badges (like “Notes C to G”) show a child how far they have come, with a button to start over. Save a progress report as a PDF, like a school report, or the numbers as a spreadsheet, to share with a teacher or family.
- Private and offline. No account, no ads and no tracking. See the privacy policy.
