What is pianobooster
pianobooster is:
A MIDI file player/game that displays the musical notes AND teaches you how to play the piano.
PianoBooster is a fun way of playing along with a musical accompaniment and at the same time learning the basics of reading musical notation. The difference between playing along to a CD or a standard MIDI file is that PianoBooster listens and reacts to what you are playing on a MIDI keyboard.
