Getting comfortable with the keyboard layout
Tips
The game uses a standard QWERTY keyboard, so every note maps to a letter key you already have. At first it is completely fine to hunt for each key on screen, but the goal is to reach a point where you know where your fingers are going without looking down. Once you stop looking at the keyboard, you can focus entirely on the sheet music.
- Play the same song several times in a row — repetition is what locks the key positions into muscle memory.
- Keep your eyes on the highlights, not your fingers, as soon as you feel ready to try it.
What to check when a key does not register
Check
If the game is not picking up your keypresses, work through these checks before giving up.
- Make sure your physical keyboard is properly plugged in or connected to your computer.
- Double-check that the key you are pressing actually matches the highlighted note.
- Press the key a little sooner the timing needs to line up with when the note lights up.
- If nothing else works, close the game and reopen it to clear any session glitches.
