The app’s background color is fully adjustable through the preferences options, and you can change it to Green, Blue, etc. At the top panel of the app, there are options that allow you to begin recording your tune, stop recording etc. You can specify a location for saving your recorded tune. To top it all off, the app supports hover mode by which you can play the piano keys by simply hovering your mouse over them; useful for speed playing. You can also map piano keys, which shows the keyboard buttons on the on screen piano buttons so that you can play the piano more easily.

2. Baby Piano

Baby Piano is exactly what its name suggests- a fun to use piano app for toddlers and babies, who are above the age of 3. The colorful interface when you open the app is sure to keep you entertained as you try and strike notes on this app to create music. This app does not have the standard piano layout of multiple keys on the screen- as I told before, it’s designed with kids in mind and it has a simple interface of 7 notes: C D E F G A B C. These notes are big sized and can be played by kids easily on either a touch or a non touch device!

3. Piano8

Piano8

Piano8 is a free app for Windows 8 that provides the interface of a grand piano on your Windows 8 device. When you launch the app, you will be presented with a standard layout of piano keys on your screen. These keys are big enough to be pressed by a mouse or by your finger if you are on a touch enabled device. In the preferences menu of the app, you can switch to European Notations (that are displayed on keys), choose to switch the display notations on or off altogether, and choose to enable or disable keyboard support, i.e., when this is enabled, you will see the name of the corresponding key on the on screen piano keyboard that you can press on your Windows 8 device keyboard to play that note, and when disabled, that functionality is turned off. You can change the octaves of the piano notes in the main screen of the app by clicking the arrow keys on either side of the screen as well!
