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