Q. I want to give back to the many people who have helped me learn the piano through video tutorials and make some of my own for people struggling to learn songs on the piano. I have a mac and a MIDI chord and a digital piano. What are some programs out there for a mac that would show a virtual keyboard on the screen of what I am playing on the keyboard?
A. You can download the free trial of FL Studio or try using Garageband.
What kind of software can help me with sheet music by showing me a virtual keyboard?
Q. I used to play the piano and the violin but am a bit rusty on some of the harder chords and notes. I want to get back into it but I am curious if there is a program that can take my digital sheet music or scanned sheet music and play it for me while showing me which notes are which on a digital keyboard.
A. Guitar Pro might help

What is the music software for getting music ideas down?
Q. I dream of awesome music tunes at night when I go to sleep, I wake up wishing I could record them somehow, I only play a few chords on guitar tho, is there any good music software not to complex that is good for getting tunes down. I don't have an instrument at the moment.
A. You can try FL Studio (PC only). It has virtual instruments and sampled instruments. It's easy as using your computer's keyboard to record notes, or you can just draw the notes in on a piano roll time line. Very easy and fun.
