Learn Piano

Motivation
I have a MIDI controller keyboard and am staring to learn playing the piano. Looking for a free / open source piano learning experience, I found a lot of great resources on the web. Yet somehow, I had the feeling that sth. is missing.

Features

Simulate a piano supporting inputs:

• MIDI controller keyboard - starting with an Arturia KeyLab Essential 88
• Computer Keyboard - more for testing than for actually playing
• Mouse click on virtual keyboard - again, this is for testing

output

• Sampled Salamander Grand Piano synth

Run

npm run dev

Possible features

Here's a list of possible features.

• sustain pedal
• clean code (separate rendering from function)
• clean MIDI controller life cycle
• tutorial mechanics
• Practice mode: Notes, chords, inversions, sheet music, rhythm / timing
• animated keypress history, see Shared Piano
• record & playback
• multiplayer support (WebSocket or better WebRTC)
• other instruments

Development

The app is written in JavaScript using Svelte Kit as application framework.
