Abstract

Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of a lights-guided piano key learning and teaching device. In one aspect, a piano teaching apparatus includes an elongated enclosure overlaid atop a portion of a set of keys of a piano and a set of lights, each light corresponding with each key of the set of keys respectively. A depth of an underside of the elongated enclosure permits the set of keys to be played in an unobstructed manner. The set of light illuminates when an application of a data processing system communicatively coupled with the piano teaching apparatus communicates a set of instructions synchronized with a musical note of a compilation displayed on the application of the data processing device. The musical note corresponds with a particular light that is directly above a particular key of the set of keys associated with the musical note.
