So you got a piano at home or you’re planning to buy a piano? Good news for you that there’s a good software for learning to play the Piano: The Synthesia.
How does Synthesia work?
Well, if you have a Digital Piano with USB keyboard support, you can connect it to your computer and play with the help of Synthesia.
But if you don’t have a piano yet, don’t worry, you can use your computer keyboard to practice.
Synthesia will need a MIDI file to translate it into visual/video that guide you how to play exactly the music.
You will watch the keyboard from the screen and do the same to practice. That’s how Synthesia help you with Learning Piano. (For more details about Synthesia, please see the screenshots)
