This was one of my first coding projects that I developed completely independently. I made this in high school during 12th grade for my AP Computer Science Principles class. This was my first time using classes and developing my own Python library! Woo!
I was inspired by Simply Piano, which is a popular mobile app that teaches beginner pianists how to play piano. It features a scrollable sheet music display and a database of many different songs.
I created a similar app using Python. I used pygame, tkinter, and turtle to make the front end. I wanted to make the app song database easily scalable, so I created a library to process midi files (commonly used for music storage) and output the data in Python data structures using mido.
Overall, this project took around 2 months to make and was extremely fun because it was one of my first independent projects. I liked getting to make important decisions about the app design and software architecture (using classes for the first time). You can view the finished product HERE.

I developed a piano app based on Simply Piano to teach beginner pianists notes and rhythm. The app includes a scrolling sheet music display, virtual piano simulation, audio feedback, song database, and midi file processing via a self-created Python library.
Technologies used: Python, Tkinter, Pygame, Mido
