If you're a dedicated piano student, you know how crucial visual feedback can be. Seeing the notes you play in real-time dramatically speeds up learning, as "when you learn by actually visuals, [you] usually learn faster."
We're excited to introduce the MD Piano App (also referred to as the MIDI Analyzer), a powerful, completely free web-based tool built right into our website.
This tool is designed to mimic the professional, paid visualizers used in our tutorials—but we've built this one specifically for you, and it's 100% free!
Key Features and Benefits
The MD Piano App is a game-changer for practicing and understanding music theory in a practical way.
1. Real-Time Visual Feedback
See the Notes: The core function of the app is to display the notes you play on a virtual keyboard in real-time. This eliminates guesswork and solidifies your understanding of chords and scales.
Boost Learning: As mentioned in our tutorials, this visual connection changes your understanding and helps you learn piano faster.
2. Completely Free & Web-Based
Zero Cost: Unlike many high-quality MIDI visualizers, the MD Piano App is completely free.
Easy Access: It is web-based, meaning all you need is an internet connection and a PC. Just visit the Tshepo Piano Lessons website to find it in the top navigation!
3. Full MIDI Controller Responsiveness
Connect your keyboard and see all your controller movements displayed live:
Modulation Wheel: The wheel is fully responsive.
Pitch Bend: The pitch bend control is responsive as well.
Master Volume: See your volume adjustments reflected in the app.
Sustain Pedal: The app tracks the status of your sustain pedal (if connected).
4. Practice and Tracking Tools
We continue to build on the app to make it even more user-friendly:
Time Tracking ("Time Plays"): You can track the time you are spending on any activity, whether you're working through a tutorial or simply practicing.
Integrated Notes Section: Take down quick notes while practicing and easily copy/paste them into your own study documents.
YouTube Playlist Integration: Access the playlist of our YouTube tutorials directly through the app.
🛠 How to Get Started
It's simple to start using this powerful free tool:

Connect Your Gear: Connect your MIDI keyboard or digital piano to your PC using a USB cable.
