Virtual piano online

How to our online piano

This online piano is designed for instant playability. You can use your mouse, touch screen, or computer keyboard to trigger notes across two full octaves, from C2 to B3. Simply click on the white or black keys, or use your physical keyboard: the A–L keys map to the white notes, while W, E, T, Y, U and other nearby keys trigger the black notes (sharps and flats). This setup mimics the natural layout of a real keyboard and is great for hands-on learning.

For visual guidance, you can enable or disable note labels and keyboard overlays at any time using the toggle button above the keyboard. The piano is responsive, so it works well on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Whether you're in a quiet space or using headphones, you’ll get clear, high-quality samples recorded from a real acoustic piano.

Use cases for the virtual piano

There are plenty of ways to make use of this tool. It's ideal for:

• Beginners who are just learning note positions and want to get a feel for basic scales or chords.
• Teachers and tutors who need a quick, shareable resource to demonstrate musical ideas online.
• Producers or songwriters sketching melodies or testing harmonies when away from their main setup.
• Ear training students who want to quiz themselves on intervals, pitch recognition, or chord tones.
• Parents or educators introducing kids to musical instruments in a fun and interactive way.

You don’t need to install anything or sign up. Just open the tool, play around, and learn as you go. It’s also useful for comparing keyboard layouts before committing to a physical instrument.
