## What it is
Piano Trainer is a cross-platform desktop app built with Tauri and Rust that helps users memorize piano scales, chords, and the circle of fifths through interactive practice and quiz modes. It supports MIDI controllers and QWERTY keyboard input, with features like hard mode, shuffle mode, and built-in piano sounds.

## Use cases
- memorize piano scales with a MIDI keyboard
- practice chords and the circle of fifths interactively
- quiz myself on key recognition and music theory
- learn piano without a physical teacher
- practice scales backwards with ping pong mode
- use a QWERTY keyboard as a piano input

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source, cross-platform piano theory trainer
- you have a MIDI controller and want interactive scale/chord practice
- you prefer a lightweight Tauri app over heavy music software

## When to avoid
- you need full piano lessons or sheet music training
- you want audio recording or DAW features
- you need mobile or web-based practice
