Explore the staff and the keyboard

Each line and each space on the staff is one rung of the ladder, and one rung up is the next white key to the right. Move a note up and down the treble or bass clef and watch its key light up on a full 88-key piano, with the note's name and octave. Tap any key, or play it on a MIDI keyboard, to see where it sits on the staff; play several keys together on a MIDI keyboard to see the chord.
