Perhaps useful for early beginners, but visual keyboards lack the tactile feedback from the sharps.
Much more value having the fingers on a real keyboard and hearing each note's pitch.
- jiveturkey 7y agoyeah no, this is horrible all around. the only way this kind of UI (no actual keyboard) would be useful is if it had voice recognition and you spoke the notes.
- jwalton 7y agoIf you look in the upper right corner, there's a "MIDI Select Device" button.
- jacquesm 7y agoOn chrome this works with midi keyboards.
- Areading314 7y agoYes, practicing piano by playing a piano is probably the best approach
- abraCadabstrax 7y agoI think there's also a lot to be said about having a real score in front of you. I used to sight-read for a living (guitarist on cruise ships) and thought that the first grok of the visual where you take in the form was more important than the up/down of a melody. By the way, this guy is a monster sight-reader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZMroQOtS_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZMroQOtS_U
- andrepd 7y agoBefore clicking the link I already knew you were referring to Tom Brier :)
- sizzzzlerz 7y agoThat is quite humbling. He is obviously a very skilled musician and can play ragtime like Scott Joplin but picking up a new piece and playing it by sight without any mistakes that I could see or hear, is amazing.
- netsharc 7y agoI'm missing the pitch too. (Edit: ah you're supposed to connect it to a MIDI device, but who owns that/how does that cater to mobile users). What good is it knowing the note is C5 without knowing what C5 sounds like, in other words I'd be able to identify the notes but I wouldn't know what the song sounds like...
