A free downloadable software called Synthesia allows users to learn how to play piano. This program is pretty unique compared to others that came before it. The user will see a piano laid out on the screen. It appears to be a game, using colored blocks to let the user know when to play the note (i.e. Guitar Hero). However, it features many tutorials and the user can play free songs as well as any MIDI file they find online. Reading music is not a requirement but Synthesia features notated music if you choose to play it that way. The website listed below shows all the features and even a video showing how the software works.
