The JOEL music room

Piano, drums and guitar — pick one and play it right here in the page.

The piano

Every note laid out in a straight line, low on the left and high on the right. Press the white and black keys below, or use your computer keyboard.

JOELCONCERT PIANO

The black keys sit in groups of two and three — that pattern is how a player finds their place without looking down.

The drums

A drum kit is several instruments played at once — feet on the bass drum and hi-hat, hands on the snare, toms and cymbals. Click any drum to hear it.

Keyboard: D bass drum, F snare, J hi-hat, G and H toms, K floor tom, A crash.

The guitar

Six steel strings tuned E A D G B E. Strum across the sound hole to hear them open, press a fret on the neck to raise a note, or tap a chord below.

E

A cross above a chord means that string is not played. Keyboard: keys 1 to 6 pluck the open strings.
