Video Game Piano Question?

Post by ValiantVenality »

Does anyone know any old video games that has a piano you can have as a controller. I really want to know how to play the piano but (I know you guys mite think im stupid and lazy) I kinda dont want to take lessons. It would be easier for me since it would be related to video games. (Please dont call me mean names because I dont want to take lessons)

There was this weird piano teaching thing for the NES and SNES. It plugged in and you could play piano and stuff, don't really know much about it.

In this shot you see the piano and the NES connectivity cart

If you want to play piano, I suggest you get a nice USB MIDI keyboard and some software for your computer. And a teacher. Seriously, I've learned things (though not piano) from books and teachers, and the teaching experience is definitely better. Doesn't even have to be a full time teacher, just someone who you can ask the occasional question you can't find the answer to online. As for the keyboard, I suggest the M-AUDIO Keystation 49e, as it has gotten excellent reviews (and I have tested it briefly in a store). The eKeys 37 looks kinda tempting, but know you won't get much out of it if you want to actually make music on it. Also, you can probably find it elsewhere for less than the MSRP of $129.99 (USD); I've seen it for $100 and less at retail stores.
