Overwatch 2 player hires real music coach to teach them in-game piano

As a seasoned Overwatch 2 enthusiast who’s spent countless hours mastering the art of digital piano playing, I must say that the dedication and ingenuity shown by this player is nothing short of inspiring! It’s truly remarkable how one can immerse oneself in a virtual world to such an extent.


A player of Overwatch 2 decided to engage a professional musician as their personal tutor to help improve their in-game piano skills, and surprisingly, this instructor was more than willing to provide a comprehensive lesson.

One of the more interesting tidbits about Overwatch 2 is that there are actual working pianos in the game. Located in either Circuit Royale or Paris, the pianos in both maps have fully fledged minor and major keys, although there are no pedals so don’t expect to be able to use a sustain.

Since the incorporation of Paris in 2019, numerous musicians have been seriously playing entire tunes on it. Surprisingly, a devoted fan has invested 659 hours perfecting it, even though they don’t possess genuine piano-playing skills in reality.

If you aspire to excel in both Overwatch and piano, you might wonder whether practicing alone is the only way. However, one player dared to hire a real-life piano tutor to aid his progress, and interestingly, the coach proved quite beneficial.

As a gamer, I once thought it’d be cool to learn some tunes on the in-game piano from Overwatch, so I hired a piano teacher off Fiverr, little did I know that confusion would set in as soon as my coach laid eyes on the virtual keyboard!

After confirming that the piano was operational, the instructor chose to adapt a musical score specifically for Javofo to perform it within the game.

Because each note is played individually, the teacher needed to convert the chords into separate notes for Javofo to play the tunes.

Following some practice sessions, the YouTube creator mastered an easy rendition of “When The Saints Go Marching In,” as well as several other tunes.

Indeed, it transpired that Javofo indeed possessed a piano, which caused the teacher to chuckle. However, it should be noted that after confessing this fact, Javofo did manage to glean some knowledge from the class.
