PianoGlow guides
The developer already publishes short guides for Type Mode, Falling Notes, sheets, ear training, rhythm, and a few tools. Steam’s own guide shelf for the game is nearly empty. This section is the longer version of the jobs those short pages name, starting with a first launch and with MIDI files.
What is already written, and what is not
Use the official page when you want the developer’s own words for a single mode. Use the pages here when the official page is a sidebar and you still have a task: first hour, a file that is video or PDF rather than MIDI, or a keyboard that has not shown up yet. I am not rewriting eleven guides into eleven near-copies.
| Job | Official page | Longer page here |
|---|---|---|
| First session | FAQ plus Type and Falling guides | Beginner guide |
| Letter charts | Sheets library and Type guide | QWERTY sheets |
| MIDI and conversions | MIDI guide | Import MIDI |
| A real piano | FAQ and MIDI test | Connect a keyboard |
| Scales | No dedicated guide page | Scale practice |
| Rooms | Steam description | Multiplayer |
The publisher’s channel
The YouTube channel PianoGlowApp carries the launch trailer and shorter clips. A trailer is not a manual. Where a clip only shows a song, I treat it as a demonstration that the mode exists, and the steps still come from the written guide.

Questions
Is there an official PianoGlow tutorial?
Yes, as short pages on the developer site. There is no single first-launch manual, which is why the beginner page exists.
Where do I start?
If you have only a computer keyboard, start with the beginner page. If you have a digital piano, start with the connection page and the MIDI test.
