Virtual Piano: Play Piano Online

Yes. It is free, needs no account and no download, and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you play is uploaded.

The white keys are 1 to 0, Q to P, A to L and Z to M, from C2 up to C7, with middle C on T. Hold Shift for a black key: Shift+T plays the C sharp above middle C. Every key has its own note, so you never switch octaves while you play. Turn on Letters to see the letter on every key.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Ode to Joy, Jingle Bells, Für Elise, Minuet in G, Canon in D, Amazing Grace, Greensleeves and Brahms' Lullaby. All of them are in the public domain, and each comes with its letter sheet, which you can copy. For a song that is not on the list, upload it to GrooveSheet and get its piano part as sheet music and MIDI.

Yes. Connect it by USB, open the page in Chrome, Edge or Opera on a computer or an Android phone, and press Connect a MIDI keyboard. Velocity and the sustain pedal work, and practice mode follows the keys you play.

Yes. Tap the keys, and play chords with several fingers. Turn your phone sideways for more keys, or move along the piano with the arrows or the strip of 88 keys above it. On an iPhone, switch off silent mode if you hear nothing, because the silent switch mutes web pages too.

Hold the space bar, or press Sustain to keep the pedal down. While it is down, notes keep ringing after you let go of the keys, as on a real piano, and they stop when you release it. A sustain pedal plugged into a MIDI keyboard works too.

The letters follow the layout online piano sheets are written in, so a sheet you find online plays here as written. The white keys run across four rows of your keyboard from low to high: 1 to 0, then Q to P, A to L and Z to M. That is 61 keys, from C2 to C7, with middle C on T. A black key is the white key to its left with Shift held: Shift+T (written as a capital T) is the C sharp above middle C, and Shift+1 (written !) is the C sharp at the bottom. In a sheet, letters are played one after another, and letters in [brackets] are played together as a chord. Hold the space bar for the sustain pedal.

Pick a song and choose Listen to hear it at full, three-quarter or half speed while the keys and the letters light up. Then switch to Practice: the next key glows amber with its letter on it, and the song waits until you press it, so you learn the melody note by note at your own pace. The progress bar shows how far you have got, and the letter sheet shows the whole tune in the letters you type. Start with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Ode to Joy, which stay close to middle C on white keys only, then try Für Elise, which adds two black keys.

Plug a USB MIDI keyboard, or a digital piano with a USB port, into your computer, open this page in Chrome, Edge or Opera and press Connect a MIDI keyboard. Every key sounds through the grand piano at the velocity you played it, and a sustain pedal plugged into the keyboard works as the pedal here. Practice mode listens to the MIDI keyboard too, so you can learn the songs on real keys. Safari cannot read MIDI keyboards, so on a Mac use Chrome or Edge.

A full piano has 88 keys, from A0 to C8: 52 white and 36 black. The white keys play the natural notes C, D, E, F, G, A and B, and the black keys, in groups of two and three, play the sharps and flats between them. C is always the white key just left of a group of two black keys. Middle C (C4, marked with a dot here) sits near the centre of the piano, and the number after a note name is its octave: C4 to B4 is one octave and C5 starts the next, each note vibrating twice as fast as the same note an octave below. Turn on Note names to see every key named.

No. The free tools need no account and no download. They run in your browser, and nothing you play or drop in is uploaded.

Yes, in any current mobile browser. MIDI keyboards and pad controllers need Chrome, Edge or Opera, on a computer or an Android phone.
