How to Learn Computer Music Notes With a Keyboard

Computers can help you learn sheet music and begin to understand the basics of any instrument. Using a piano in tandem with a computer allows you to learn the instrument more effectively. If you don't have a piano but would like to learn, you can learn musical notes using the keyboard from your computer. Although a computer's keyboard doesn't exactly mimic the piano's keys, it still teaches the theory of playing a piano. The notes, chords and scales on a piano remain the same regardless of how you play it.
