Pupitre - Learn Piano

Pupitre is a music stand for your MIDI keyboard. Connect a keyboard, open a song, and its notes fall towards the keys you play them on while the score scrolls above. Play along at your own pace, let the song wait for you, or take on the challenge and score every note.

No keyboard at hand? Play the keys on the screen with your fingers, or just watch and listen.

LEARN A SONG, ONE HAND AT A TIME

• Falling notes. Every note falls onto its own key in its part's colour, between bar lines, and lights the key as it sounds.

• A real score. Both staves, engraved, scrolling under fixed clefs, key and time signature, with the words under the notes when the song has lyrics. Choose its size and, with Pupitre Pro, its ink and paper for light and dark.

• Wait for Me. The song stops at each of your notes until you play it, then carries on. Pick Gentle, Careful or In Time, and switch it per song.

• Your hand, the other one played for you. Show or silence each part of a song, and play the one you are learning while Pupitre plays the rest.

• Tempo from 25% to 200%. Steady Tempo evens out a performer's rubato into one pulse, shown as a metronome mark.

• Loop a section. Drag it on the small piano roll in the transport bar, and it repeats with no gap.

• Rainbow Notes. Each note in its name's colour, C red through B pink, on the score, the falling notes and the keys. With Pupitre Pro, change the colours to match a teacher's book.

• Note names in letters, in solfège (Do, Ré, Mi) or both.

• Fingers on the falling notes. First Steps shows the fingers as written. For other pieces with a part for each hand, Pupitre suggests fingers sized to your hand: pick a size, or measure your reach on your keyboard.
