I'm reposting this blog as per the request of a new member of MyEC. Enjoy, girl! 
 
Hello, my dear friends!
 
Do you ever wish you were able to play a musical instrument? The truth is we all do, don’t  we?  (Hope I’m  not bending the truth!)  Unfortunately,  there  could  be  some justifiable grounds for your dream failed to materialize. Perhaps you don’t have the means to own, for example, a piano as it costs you an arm and a leg. If you are one of those disappointed souls, the following instruments are coming to you for absolutely free! This is the moment you've been waiting for all this while. Please don't think that this is a childish prank, my friend. I'm deadly serious!! I know what is  crossing your mind right now!  Believe me,  I’m  not .insane and they are neither just  images of musical instruments  nor  e-toys!  They are  ‘real’ and you can use them straight away. The only difference is that they are ‘virtual.and you use either your computer keyboard or mouse to operate them. 
 
Well, what are you waiting for? Go on; give them a try! I’m sure you’ll have fun!

Click the  ‘question mark’ (?)  on the  top  right-hand  corner  of the piano.

tones under 'Sounds'.  Learn the SongPlay  and  Reset functions too!

Do you know the name of the song?      
Use the  Player Piano  and  Lite Piano to play the song with  your computer keyboard keys.  If you are using the  Player Piano,  just  look at the musical
notes you pasted on the top and play accordingly. Isn't it much convenient?

 

Advanced Piano


    

This is MY FAVOURITE:

This piano has more things to offer than the earlier two!

Press the button 'Notes' to  display  the  characters .in reference to your pc keys.
Press the  'down arrow'  button to display the musical notes of a song and start

playing. The arrow displays a different song every time you press it.  

Experiment the functions of the various buttons on the piano by.pressing.them
one at a time. For example, under 'loops' (the tiny green buttons) you can choose a

suitable rhythm to accompany your melody.

  • "Oh Susanna"

                                          I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
                                          I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see.

                                          *Oh, Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
                                           For I come from Alabama,
                                           With a banjo on my knee.

                                          It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
                                          The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
                                          *Chorus
                                          
                                          I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
                                          I dreamed I saw Susanna dear a coming down the hill.

                                          *Chorus 

                Happy Singing! :-)

               on the above ‘Advanced Virtual Piano’.  (You’ll see  the  letters

  • Hello, dear Gabriel!
    You made me smile! It reminded me of the time when I was little and I had a toy synthesizer (not sure what the word is written that way, sorry), with very little uncomfortable buttons and three buttons at the top, through which you can play the drums.

    It was so funny trying to play here when behind is a real, large and easy synthesizer!

    Thanks for the fun!
