PianoBooster is a free (open source) program that plays Standard Midi Files and allows you to change the playback speed and transpose the music etc.

 There is a scrolling musical staff that shows the notes for just one part of all the parts in the whole musical arrangement. is designed to allow you to play along on a MIDI piano keyboard with the rolling notes displayed on the screen. 

The notes you press on the keyboard appear as colored lines on the musical staff, the color of which depends on whether you have pressed the right or wrong note. A different instrument sound is used for your playing depending on whether you are playing right or wrong notes.

This feature also allows Piano Booster to be used with printed sheet music, so you can hear if you're playing the right notes while keeping your eyes on the printed sheet music.
