Virtual keyboards are online applications that transform your computer keyboard into a versatile musical instrument :
You can also play with your mouse or keyboard and mouse at the same time. If you have a MIDI keyboard, one of these services offers the possibility of connecting it.
Even if your computer's keyboard covers only 18 notes (the width of your real keyboard) (1 1/2 octaves), is insensitive to intensities and rambles a little on chords, it is responsive enough (without delay) to play most melodies.
There's nothing to stop you getting several computers together and starting an office or classroom orchestra. Very easy to use, this is a fun musical activity for young and old alike!
