Setting up your MIDI keyboard

---

Teach Me Piano uses an external MIDI synthesizer or MIDI keyboard as an interactive music input device. In order to play all of the exercises and songs in the lessons, the keyboard should be at least four-octaves.

The MIDI keyboard connects to your PC sound card with an optional USB MIDI Interface cable. This allows your PC to record the notes played on the MIDI keyboard. In addition, if the MIDI keyboard also has a built-in synthesizer, your PC will be able to play music on that synthesizer.
