Online MIDI Piano — Play a Web Piano Keyboard Free

A full piano in the browser

This is a playable piano you can use without installing anything. Click or tap the keys, or plug in a MIDI keyboard and the on-screen keys follow what you press. Switch between piano, xylophone, guitar, cello and flute sounds, and toggle note names on the keys while you're still learning where things sit.

Because it runs on the Web Audio and Web MIDI APIs, latency stays low and everything happens on your device — no upload, no account. It works on a phone, tablet or desktop, though a real MIDI keyboard gives you the best feel.

Play with your computer keyboard

The letter on each key is the computer key that plays it. The top row (Q W E R T Y U I O P) plays the upper keys and the bottom row (Z X C V B N M) plays the lower row; the number and letter keys in between play the black keys. Hold Space for the sustain pedal and use the left and right arrow keys to shift octaves.

Q 2 W 3 E R 5 T 6 Y 7 U I 9 O 0 P [ = ] ·Z S X D C V G B H N J M , L . ; / ⇧ \ ·Space = Sustain ·← → = First Octave

The mapping follows the physical position of the key, so it also works on AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboards. Switch the letters off once you know them.

Chords, scales and recording

Use it to check a chord voicing, hear how a scale sounds, or sketch a quick idea. Record a short passage and play it back to hear what you actually played, not what you meant to.

When you want the theory behind the keys, jump to the chord and scale references below — every chord and scale on Songtive is linked to the same sounds you hear here.
