It is a free utility for Windows and Mac that turns your keyboard into a Piano. You can then play the piano through your <strong>mouse<\/strong> or your <strong>keyboard keys.<\/strong> Each key on the Piano is mapped to a button on your keyboard and the complete mapping is displayed once you click on the <strong>?<\/strong> button or the <em>Piano Notes<\/em> button.<\/p>\n<p>The utility also displays keys for popular songs from bands like <em>Linkin Park<\/em> and <em>Guns and Roses<\/em> so you can try playing those on your own. You can scroll through the selection of these songs by clicking on the respective up or down arrow. If you are a mouse person, you can de-activate the keyboard functionality. There are also several loop functions and pre-recorded pieces of music to give you a good background beat. Just press the <em>space bar<\/em> key to turn off the music at any time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/stories\/vpiano1.png\" alt=\"Virtual Piano\" width=\"592\" height=\"348\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/stories\/vpiano2.png\" alt=\"Virtual Piano\" width=\"549\" height=\"279\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall, it is a great tool for somebody who wants to learn music but doesn&#8217;t want to spend tons of money of expensive equipment.
