PianoLabs — a free online piano: play, learn and practice piano. Imitate.Recognize.
Think in sound. Play a free online piano, then go further: lessons, theory, ear training, notation & a beat maker — one platform.
This is the actual app.
Every frame below is recorded from PianoLabs running, not drawn to look like it.
Follow the notes down
Notes fall to the key you have to press, in time, at whatever tempo you can currently manage.
Sixteen ways to practise
Note recognition, sight-reading, scales, chord switches, rhythm, dictation, play-by-ear — each one graded, each one feeding the same practice log.
Hanon, scored as you play
Hanon and Schmitt exercises with the notes on screen, your accuracy per note, and a tempo that steps up when you earn it.
Every note, every finger
Pick an arpeggio and the whole run is drawn before you play it — the keys, the order, and the fingering across every octave.
The map every key sits on
An interactive circle of fifths: pick a key and its relative minor, its dominant, its subdominant and its diatonic chords are all right there.
Write it down properly
A notation editor with real engraving — click the staff or play a MIDI keyboard, then export MIDI, MusicXML or PNG.
The staff is the stick
There is no steering. The note's pitch is the ship's altitude, so reading the line is the only thing keeping you in the air.
Read it first, or get shot
A space-western duel with nothing to aim and nothing to manage — only which of four answers you pick, and how long you took. The hardest tier gives you 600 milliseconds.
Not a picture of the app — pieces of it.
Everything below is the same code the product ships. Change the settings and it responds, because it is the real thing rather than a drawing of it.
Every note, every finger
Pick an arpeggio and the whole run is drawn before you play it — which keys, in what order, and the fingering across every octave. The thumb passes under at each octave root; the little finger only ever closes the run.

2 OCTAVES · 7 NOTES
Chords, under pressure
Read the chord printed on the hull and play it before the formation reaches you. The hardware tells you the rules: two plates means two different chords, and the gold hull is the hardest one on the board.
The chord is live text, never a bitmap — sharp at any zoom and readable by a screen reader. Tap a hull to lock onto it.
A rank you earned
Every exercise pays XP into one shared log — the same log the streak, the daily plan and the leaderboard all read. There is no second scoreboard, and nothing on the client can move it.
Eight tiers, twenty-two ranks. XP is only ever awarded by the server, in the same transaction that writes your practice log — so the number on the leaderboard is one you actually earned.
Three games that are actually games.
Chord Invaders
CHORD RECOGNITIONRead the chord on the hull and play it before the formation reaches you. Ten galaxies, and the bosses take more than one right answer.
Sight Flight
SIGHT READINGNo steering. The note's pitch is the ship's altitude, so reading the staff is the only thing keeping you in the air.
Melody Siege
TEN DISCIPLINESA turn-based artillery duel where answering the musical challenge is what arms the gun. Physics decides where the shell lands.
Loses its wing tips and deck keys first. Nothing here is a screenshot — this is the component the game renders.
