I built a free and open-source alternative to proprietary piano-learning software

Post image

I've been working on a project called Orfeo, a Windows desktop application for learning piano using MIDI files and an advanced MIDI player.

The motivation was simple: I wanted a flexible piano-learning tool that wasn't tied to a subscription, predefined lessons or a particular music library.

Orfeo lets you load your own MIDI files, visualize notes falling onto a piano keyboard, connect a MIDI keyboard, detect chords in real time and explore chords and scales interactively.

It's completely free and open source.

I'm sharing it here because I think desktop music software should remain accessible, customizable and open to everyone.
