I have a USB-MIDI Adapter, the M-Audio adapter which I

arecordmidi is a utility to record standard MIDI files. The -p
argument selects the port whence to record, the -s argument points to
the midi file to create. You ought to be able to use any Windows
editing/recording/sequencing software to do the recording on your
Windows box.

A Google search revealed lots of freeware, shareware and pay-only
software that may be useful:

OK... One final post on this topic.

I finally managed all the parts. Thanks to all who contributed
on this thread.

Here is what I did.

1. Get a MIDI-USB adapter (M-audio is the one I bought)
2. Install a sequencer on the Windows computer (I used
freeware - Anvil)
3. Connect MIDI out of keyboard and USB port on computer
using the adapter.
4. Get a MIDI-in enabled sound card for the computer (one of
my computers did not have it, the other did)
5. Hit "Record" on Anvil.
6. Play the song on the keyboard and watch as it gets
recorded (and scored) on Anvil.

Anvil gives you options to save the output as MIDI, Wave
etc. and also provides options to edit the track before
you save.

In time for my daughter's next project :-)
