I suck at playing the piano, but I think I can manage and I really wanna learn to play this song. Know the notes to it? Help!
I choose best answer.
Thank you!
Use MIDI to show all the notes for any song in a virtual keyboard. MIDI it’s like a digital sheet music.
Do this:
1- Search the WEB for the song you like to learn in http://www.midisite.co.uk/ or http://www.musicrobot.com/
2- Download one of these softwares:
Synthesia: http://www.synthesiagame.com/getTheGame.aspx
or
Sweet Sixteen MIDI Sequencer: http://www.download3000.com/download_32086.html or http://www.download32.com/sweet-sixteen-midi-sequencer-i3153.html
3- Open the MIDI file of the song you want to learn with the application you download and you’ll see all the notes you need to play for that song displayed in a keyboard inside of the software. All you have to do is repeat the notes displayed.
I learn to play piano like this on my own. You should try it.
I made a video showing the concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LYSVjFU3Jw
