The finest piano virtuoso in the 1800s was, arguably, Franz Liszt. The music he played ranks among the most challenging repertoire in the world. What may not be known about him is that he often traveled on concert tours with a silent, wooden, dummy keyboard. How could such a toy be of use to such a master musician? It’s been speculated that he used this keyboard to work out fingering and smooth lateral wrist movements. But there may have been another important use too: to aid in visualization and memorization, much like how we use a virtual piano keyboard today. In this sense, Liszt’s dummy keyboard might be considered the first virtual instrument of its kind.

Now, There are Many Uses for Virtual Piano Keyboards

Nowadays, there are many reasons for using virtual keyboards. Often, these underlying uses reveal how we visualize and memorize musical patterns. Both piano students and professionals alike can benefit from keen digital technology, which brings the piano alive on a computer, tablet, or cell phone screen. And not unlike Liszt’s dummy keyboard, virtual instruments help students to better process music, even when they are away from a real piano.

Overall, modern computer technology has allowed us to implement virtual keyboards in many educational and creative milieus. Virtual instruments can be captivating and helpful for all kinds of musicians and learners.

Here are five interesting uses for the virtual piano keyboard:

1.) Learning Music Theory

Music theory has long been relegated to the boring column in music education. Not only because of the inherent academic dullness of this activity. But also because students have a hard time visualizing what the instructor is asking them to learn. This is where virtual keyboards come in. In the old days, teachers favored flashcards. But now websites like musicca.com offer a more interactive, pleasant experience. On their site, you may use their virtual keyboard to learn basic pitches or notes, intervals (the space between notes), chords, scales, and so much more.

2.) Aid in Learning Songs

From “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” to “Moonlight Sonata,” to Adele’s “Someone Like You,” and everything in between, here’s a seemingly inexhaustible body of music (created by various high-quality you-tubers) which feature virtual pianos. In each case, these virtual piano keyboards are designed to teach students how to play all kinds of songs and styles of music.

Most online pianos illuminate the notes you are trying to learn. For example, Roblox Piano features a digital illustration of the piano keyboard. When a song is played, the correct piano keys light up in gray. Thus, showing the student which notes and patterns make up the song.

Another popular website is synthesia (synthesiagame.com). This company uses falling notes, in the shape of rectangular blocks. These connect to or correspond to the correct piano keys on their virtual instrument. Not only does the student learn the proper pitches for the song they chose, but they also learn timing and rhythm as they follow the digital blocks descending and melting into the piano keys. This is a brilliant visual system that has allowed many students to learn complex pieces of music without reading musical notation. In general, color-coded virtual piano keys leads to quicker acquisition and memorization of any piece of music.

3.) Create and Proofread Scores

For the more advanced students and professional alike, music notation software from companies like Sibelius, Finale, the free online software MuseScore, also features virtual keyboards. These can aid in composing music and inputting notes. The user can watch, review, and proofread their work through excellent playback functions. On notation software, the keyboard keys light up when the music is played back. This is an invaluable tool for anyone preparing music in any style and any musical context. From school assignments to complex musical scores, virtual pianos give composers and students alike the

opportunity to hear their music previewed in real-time. They can then proofread, analyze, and hone their work with greater clarity and accuracy. Some virtual pianos are even designed to show you notes written (mistakenly) outside the range of a given instrument.

4.) Checking Students’ Work

A newer use for virtual piano keyboards may be for piano instructors and other instrumental and vocal coaches to reference and check their students’ work during lessons. In the age of COVID-19, a lot of instruction has gone remote. The shift from in-person to online has once again brought the virtual piano keyboard into the spotlight. For various reasons, it may not always be possible to have a real piano nearby during instruction. And unless you have perfect or absolute pitch–only about 1 in 10,000 people do–then virtual piano keyboards allow teachers to check students’ note accuracy with ease.

This may seem like a small item. However, teachers may use the audio function from virtual pianos to catch errors instantly. Virtual instruments are also used as a pitch reference. Especially when tuning real, acoustic instruments or singing melodies and musical lines to students. There is no longer a need to carry an A440 tuning fork around everywhere you go. virtualpiano.net and recursivearts.com offer excellent virtual keyboard options for these purposes and more.

5.) Having Fun Away From the Piano

Another reason to use a virtual piano is simply for fun! This is especially helpful for the very young student. Online games (see my previous blog about this topic) use virtual instruments to engage most or all of the four main learning types defined by psychologists. These learning types are visual, auditory, reading/ writing, and kinesthetic. It’s not easy to ask a 5 or 6-year-old to sit and practice for a half-hour a day.

However, time at the computer, playing a variety of educational games, may supplement a shorter practice session. Companies like agame.com, ababasoft.com, and Chrome Music Lab use virtual piano keyboards to keep children engaged and focused on the basic elements of music such as pitch, rhythm, and timing.
