What MidiStickers is
MidiStickers is paid music education software for learning and teaching music theory and harmony from a keyboard on Windows or macOS. As MIDI plays, it displays notes and chords on a staff, with optional Roman numerals, figured bass, and harmonic functions. Lessons and exercises provide guided practice with backing tracks covering scales, modulations, and jazz progressions. Widgets visualize MIDI through piano, harpsichord, fretboard, xylophone, and recorder views. Detachable widgets, annotations, image tools, and Overlay mode support lessons, presentations, video calls, recording software, DAWs, and notation or composing software. A MIDI controller is recommended, while Virtual Piano and Fretboard widgets accept computer-keyboard input. MidiStickers Pro costs 59.00 USD as a one-time purchase, with permanent access, free updates, and bug fixes. A seven-day full trial requires no credit card. One license can be active on one device at a time, and Windows tablet pen input is not yet supported.
