Piano From Above
Piano From Above (PianoFromAbove.exe). Piano From Above is a program that turns learning the piano into a videogame. You can open any MIDI file and simply play the notes as they fall. In the practice mode you can set the speed of playback, the position of playback, which tracks are shown and which tracks are muted.
- Similar functionality, but without the price.
- It's working and it's free. Many thanks to the creator ^^
- Unlike Synthesia, the Keyboard can go up to 128 keys!

Rosegarden
Rosegarden is a well-rounded audio and MIDI sequencer, score editor, and general-purpose music composition and editing environment. Rosegarden is an easy-to-learn, attractive application that runs on Linux, ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments.
- I hoped anything more focused in composition.
- It's music composition software, not a tool for learning how to play songs on the piano.
- It's a DAW, Synthesia is a learning program.

LilyPond
GNU LilyPond is a computer program for music engraving. One of LilyPonds major goals is to produce scores that are engraved with traditional layout rules, reflecting the era when scores were engraved by hand. It uses a simple text notation for music input, which LilyPond interprets and processes in a series of stages. In the final stage, music notation is output to PDF (via PostScript) or other graphical formats, such as SVG or PNG.
- LilyPond is sheet music creation software, not a music learning game.

Perfect Piano
Perfect Piano is an intelligent piano simulator design for Android phones and tablets.
- Although it is only for Mobile devices or tablets, It is free, contains a similar interface to that of synthesia, has multiplayer live, and you can choose to play between your device's touchscreen or MIDI keyboard.. Downside to this is that it lags a bit and does not support a pedal connection with a MIDI input...

Make the keys larger or smaller by pinching your screen or remove the keys entirely and play your favorite songs by following beams of light.

- there is no keyboard only flashing lights and it doesn't give any knowledge on how to play on a keyboard.
- The Composer mode is pretty much identical to Synthesia
- Rather than a tool this is completely a game.
