Good Midi program for people wishing to learn the piano

[Shachar Shemesh]

Hi all,

I finally realized a dream I've had for several decades now, and bought
a piano. In particular, I bought a digital piano. So far I'm enjoying it
tremendously.

I thought I can accelerate and enhance my learning experience, however,
by hooking it up to a computer and have the computer check that I'm
playing what I'm supposed to play (or, at the very least, show me what I
played so I can compare). The list of MIDI packages under Debian is
rather long, and I find I need some assistance.

So far, I tried lmms (which doesn't see my piano), vmpk, which works
great, but is a mere input/output, and not much else, and muse, which I
have not managed to operate yet, but it seems not be what I'm looking for.

It seems that the MIDI sequencers are just that - sequencers. It has not
occurred to them to work with, you know, notes. I'm going to try nted
next, but the description is not promising (I think it can import from
midi files, but not from a midi device. I can, of course, have my piano
store a midi file to a USB DoK, and then import it, but that's too long
a process for what I want).

Recommendations, anyone?
Shachar
