In plain words

Fourhands is a peer-to-peer MIDI jam room designed for pianists to play together remotely. Launched in 2021, the platform allows multiple pianists to connect and perform in real time using MIDI input. It is intended for pianists of any skill level who want to collaborate, practice, or jam with others online. The application facilitates live musical interaction without requiring users to be in the same physical location.

    I'm building a video conferencing app designed to facilitate better remote piano lessons. My hope is to solve a lot of the challenges piano tutors and new students deal with when taking lessons through Skype/Zoom. It leverages WebRTC's data transmission to send media, MIDI state, and (eventually) send sheet music files and other musical data. I'm surprised with how well the MVP has worked and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions!
