How to Play a Virtual Piano

If you don't have the time or money to invest in a real keyboard or piano, or want to test the waters before you make the financial commitment to a new instrument, you can try one of several virtual-keyboard applications. Most virtual keyboards are easy to play, though it will be easier to play songs if you already know the basics of playing a keyboard and know how to read music.
