Play with the computer keyboard: the bottom row plays the white keys and the row above it plays the sharps.
How to play
- Tap a key, or press Z X C V on a keyboard — the row above plays the sharps.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I play notes?
- Click any key with your mouse, tap on touch screens, or use your computer keyboard — the bottom row (Z X C V…) plays the white keys and the row above (A S D F…) plays the sharps. Hold a key for sustained notes.
- Can I play chords?
- Yes — click multiple keys at once, or hold one and click another. For chord theory and inversions, the Chord Library has every voicing visualised on a piano keyboard.
- Where can I learn scales on piano?
- The Scale Library shows every scale in every key with the notes lit on a piano keyboard, the formula, diatonic chords and audio playback ascending or descending.
- Why does the sound feel a bit synthetic?
- The piano runs in your browser using the Web Audio API with sampled piano tones. It's tuned for instant load and zero install — for studio-grade samples open the audio in our Audio Editor or DAW of choice.
