Plern Piano Launches First Full-Featured Online Keyboard for Piano Composers, Teachers and Students

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 1, 2008 -- Plern Piano can be found at http://www.plernpiano.com and features a full 88-key online keyboard that users can use for free to compose original piano music. Anyone can also extract sheet music directly from MIDI files, modify songs using powerful editing tools, save their songs to an online database and send songs to their friends.

Learning

Plern Piano is an invaluable tool for learning how to play the piano. Falling notes teach the student how to associate notes on the score with keys on the keyboard. Similar to popular video games like Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero, the falling notes provide advance warning on which keys must be pressed next. Students can also slow down the song and loop sections so they can learn at their own pace.

Composing
Plern Piano features advanced editing tools to directly enter notes onto a digital score or extract them automatically from a .mid (MIDI) file, which can be found all over the web. Whether a user is composing original music or editing midi files, tools such as pitch shift, cut, copy and paste, and direct edting allow for powerful adjustments to the composition. Works in progress can be saved to an online database for access from any computer.

Sharing

Plern Piano is also available as a Facebook application (http://apps.facebook.com/plernpiano). Through the Facebook version, users can share their original compositions with other Facebook users or post their songs to the News Feed. Song sharing is also possible via automatic generation of links to any song, or easy creation of Song Widgets that can be posted to a web site or blog.

Plern Piano is developed by Dark Inertia Studios and was created using Adobe’s Flex framework. The application is completely free for public use.
