Maybe it's not really the most recommended way but if you don't have time or money to go to class, you can learn to play a musical instrument also by studying it on the internet . Not only are there sites with theoretical lessons but, above all, musical web applications with which it is possible to play the instrument virtually, thus learning to recognize the notes. You can therefore have fun with these web applications, and play without the need for the instrument. Those who want to learn can, in some cases, follow the notes, perform the chords and educate the ear to the rhythm. There are web applications to simulate wind instruments such as flute or sax, stringed instruments such as piano and guitar, percussion instruments such as electric drums .
1) First of all, I invite you to try Jam With Chrome, a web app where you can play several musical instruments in a group together, via the web. The application has several instruments: Piano, Bass, Guitar, Drum Machine and Drums.
2) For the virtual guitar, in another site I had reported several applications to learn to tune the guitar .
For fun, you can still play the Les Paul electric guitar created by Google online .
Virtual guitar is a guitar simulator where you can pluck the strings using the mouse to play the selected chords. You can choose the electric one or the acoustic one. On the same site you can also try the virtual Bass simulator.
The Online Guitar website shows a beautiful real guitar on the screen on which you can pluck the strings (with mouse or keyboard) as if it were real.
On the Virtualmusicalinstruments website, however, there is a classical guitar simulator where you just have to pass the mouse over the strings to play. Too bad that the chords must be selected from an uncomfortable drop-down menu.
3) To play the piano, in another article I had reported several applications with musical keyboard and piano to play online .
In addition , interactive piano lessons can be followed online and for free
4) For air instruments we have several simulators to learn and play online:
- The Peruvian flute that of the Inti-llimani that is played with the keyboard
There would also be the Sax and clarinet virtual instruments but the applications (for now) work a little bad.
5) In another article there are all the applications to play the drums online on the pc .
6) Another online musical instrument that can be played virtually is the Violin where the note is selected by selecting the string with the mouse.
Among others, in another article in the Music section, I had reported some very powerful online synthesizers for creating and playing electronic music and a program for learning to play music with exercises and guides.
