Video Games: How to Play Killer Piano Without All the Lessons

Many people, such as iPod Touch and IPad owners who always wanted to make music by playing the piano, are in luck now that a game called "Smule" is available in the app store. People who dreamed of playing the piano but didn't want to take lessons will be pleased.
The makers of "Smule" are also the makers of a unique IPad app called "Magic Piano." As you start the game, you are presented with a blank dark screen that can be touched with your fingers to make music that sounds just like a piano.
As you continue to play Magic Piano, you will notice that as you touch the screen with your fingers, at the top of the screen is a keyboard that displays the individual keys. If you press on the circular piano in the right hand corner of the IPad screen, it will change from one piano layout to the next.
But there are three different piano types you can pick from. One is the keyboard that is spiraling downward.
Another one is the circular board that is in that shape of the circle. Then there is the originally horizontal keyboard, which is the same as any regular piano.
Also if you want to adjust the size of the pianos, all you have to do is use the pinch and drag gesture. This game is very fun. You can choose songs from all different types of genres, and you can change the instrument only, if you want to.
This game is kind of like "Guitar Hero" in the way that you have to touch the keys. Consequently, it is very fun to have something like this on your iPhone or iPad. Download the game and enjoy it.
