Works like a charm with Linux/Chrome and my Roland HP504! Interesting that there's no hints in Chrome that anything is connected.

For the product, a great next step would be a link to a suitable midi collection for beginners. The included Frere Jacques sample is very short, and the other midi's that I can find using google are two-handed right away.

Yes, material is our big next challenge, we really need to work on that. But I'm so happy that we got the software written as fast as we did, obviously it is built on a lot of hard work by others (Tone.js, VexFlow, Jquery, to name a few) but it was still quite a bit of work to get to this stage. The browser is a pretty hostile environment to write real time applications in.

Note that you can make any piece playable with just the one hand and you can reduce the complexity of the chords to just about your level and then slowly increase it from there. That's the quickest way to get really nice result and to have fun doing it.
