VERY USEFUL SOFTWARE:
NoteCard		FREE version. An excellent interactive tool to help you learn reading notes. As it sounds the notes, it also helps develop the ear (pitch).
All That Chords!		FREE software. Great little tool to help you find and learn your chords. Displays keyboard as well as notes. Will save chords and patterns as MIDI files as well. Language options English or French.
WavePad Sound Editor		FREE version for private use. Work with any audio format. Record what you play on your piano (you can record from any piano with a headphone-outlet via simple cable to "line in" on your PC). Speed up or slow down music (very helpful when making a score from a tune).
MuseScore		FREE music composition and notation software. Great tool ! Very easy to learn, very easy to work with. Create your own scores (that becomes interesting faster than you'd think). Save scores to pdf or midi format. Also imports midi files as notation.
Notation Player		FREE Notation Player. Excellent rendering of midi files. Notation Player displays MIDI music (.mid, .kar, or .not ) files as sheet music that you can view on the screen while the notes play, and also print.
Synthesia		FREE basic version. Synthesia is a video game, which allows users to play a MIDI keyboard or use a computer keyboard in time to a MIDI file by following on-screen directions. Extra features, such as learning pack, are NOT free though.
Any Video Converter		FREE Video Converter. What does that have to do with piano-playing, you ask? Have you ever watched a great piano-video on YouTube, and wished you were able to save it to your computer, to watch offline or just to have it in case they yank it off the net? Have you ever wanted to be able to watch that same video at a slower speed, so you could really see how they play those difficult passages, or what chords they use? Well, with this little FREE program, you CAN do all that. Copy and paste the URL from the video on YouTube directly into the program, and AVC will download it and convert it to your chosen format - for instance wmv for Windows Media Player, or whichever software/format you prefer to use. Then you can watch it as often as you like, in whatever speed you like, and never loose it. AVC will also let you save as audio only, mp3 or other formats.
