Garage band and digital pianos

I have a Roland digital piano and I heard that you could use garage band to Bluetooth midi to a digital piano to record what you are playing. I can get my piano to connect to GarageBand no problem via the advanced settings for Bluetooth midi devices.

The problem is now what?

I can’t find where I could click record and record my piano.

The reason why I want to do this is because I would like to record myself sometimes but my kids are so loud it’s really hard to get a good recording without any background noise when I use my video app on my iPhone. I just like to have a way that is more simpler and more clean audio.

Can anybody help?

Does pressing keys on the piano cause notes to be played on the iOS device? If that doesn't work, recording likely won't either.

Garage band will force the device into landscape. The majority of the screen is often taken up by the keyboard, so control buttons will be located along the top and bottom edges of the screen.

I have not tried recording yet, only using the piano to activate the instruments with the midi properly connected.

You simply can activate record on your device and start to play.
