How it works

  1. HJK

    Find the red key

    The key to play shows its letter in red, on the piano and in the sheet above it.

  2. Jon your keyboard

    Type its letter

    The letters are the ones on your own keyboard, whatever its language. On a phone, tap the key.

  3. JKL

    Keep going

    The next key lights up. Wrong keys still sound, so you hear the mistake, but the tune waits for you.
