Online Piano Lessons: The 15 Best Sites and Apps

La Touche Musicale is a very good app that will allow you to learn to play piano online easily and quickly.

Once these bands reach the keys of the virtual piano located at the bottom of the screen, you must press the same keys on your own piano or keyboard. Simple and powerful!

Finally, if you like playing songs on the piano, La Touche Musicale is for you. It offers more than 2500 songs to play on the piano directly online, of all genres (classical, jazz, rap, movies, mangas, pop, …) and all difficulties (from easy to expert). You can also import your own MIDI files to customize your learning directory.
