Musical typing not opening on Garageband

So I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011.

In Garageband, I'm in Songwriting. I want to record piano, so I wanted to use the musical keyboard. I went to window > musical keyboard. The keyboard came up, but it was greyed out and didn't let me type the letters or click on them.

Can someone help me? Thanks so much!

you have to select a "software" (MIDI) track

since you chose a "Songwriting" template, click the header of the Piano, or Muted Bass tracks
