This activity born as a proof of concept for a piano keyboard widget, with the idea of add this widget to the existing TamTam suite. This widget should be usable with touch devices, as the XO-4, and support multiple touches, then we need use Gtk3 (Gtk2 only support a simple toch emulation). The [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/TamTam port of TamTam suite to Gtk3] already started, but is complex and need more work.

The activity TamTamJam use sequences of notes as loops to play. Can we save a loop in MusicKeyboard? Should be good for interoperability.
