A method and apparatus for keyboard instrument learning are disclosed. The learning device comprises: a data access/storage device, for storing musical compositions and fingerings; an image signal output device for outputting image signals; a processing unit; and an imaging unit, capable of capturing an image of fingers fitted with marking units in respective and an image of surface where the fingers are placed. When the fingers fitted with the marking units are placed on an actual keyboard, the processing unit is enabled to compare the i,age captured by the imaging unit with a musical composition program so as to generate a control signal accordingly while using the control signal to issue an output signal. In another embodiment, when the fingers fitted with the marking units are placed on the surface without actual keyboard, the output unit issues an output signal with virtual keyboard for directing a user to press keys of the virtual keyboard indicated by the output signal while enabling the processing unit to identify whether the correct keys are passed and further are pressed by the correct fingers.
