Play Still Alive on the piano

This topic is for those who want to play the piano, but cannot, for two reasons.

Reason one: No piano
Reason two: Can’t play the piano

What to do in this case? After all, wishes must be fulfilled! I present to your attention an interesting online project called “Button Beats”. There are many simulators presented on the Button Beats website (what else can you call it??) music devices. The rest didn’t interest me very much. If I even said a simulator about the piano, then for example about the electric guitar I can’t help but say so. Although maybe I didn’t understand the controls. Yes, in general, I’m not interested in it. Let’s go back to the piano. I have seen a huge number of such “simulators”. But this is the one that interested me. At least because the piano keys are controlled from the computer keyboard keys. And it’s done very, very conveniently. The second reason for interest is the more or less high-quality sound of the piano. Well, the third one loads quickly. Just go to the site and that’s it, you can be a virtuoso.

But most will ask: "Damn it! I don’t know how to play the piano! I can also click on the keys in Sound Forge, which I use to cut melodies once every six months..». Well, if the bear didn’t step on your ear, then you can try. The site provides quite a lot of ready-made “notes” of different melodies. Enough to sit down with a virtual musical instrument all night (the blog topic was created at 7 am, which seems to hint). And you’re probably asking: "Tommy! You asshole? I understand sheet music like I understand a bar of soap in Linux!». Calm down, calm down! Let’s breathe more evenly! You don’t need to know the notes to play one of the melodies. They are presented in the form of a series of letters that must be pressed. And you set the rhythm yourself. You can improvise, you’ll soon switch to a real instrument.

P.S.: You can easily perform Still Alive!

Playing the piano

You can play the virtual piano using https://get-lucky-casino.co.uk/games/ a computer mouse or keyboard. To play from the keyboard, click on the “Click to activate keyboard control” button, which is depicted as a miniature keyboard and is located on the right side of the virtual piano. The sound of the virtual piano is similar to its original version. Notes are converted into a sequence of letters that must be pressed on the keyboard to play a particular melody. Let me give you an example: to play the “Jingle Bells” melody, you need to enable control from the computer keyboard and press the key sequence “jjj jjj jl ghj”.

Melody selection

Hundreds of melodies to choose from. There are two ways to select a melody. Either you select the name of the melody from the drop-down list located above the virtual piano, or you select it from a special menu that is located above the keys of the virtual piano. Having selected a melody, you will see the notes and after that you can play the melody from the notes. It’s simple!

Training mode
