not having done it either, I nevertheless have a thought...

Still use Audacity, just make a separate track for the voice, then
you can mix it down to however many tracks you want. that way you
can redo the voice if you mess up, or re-mix if you don't like
the levels. that's hard to do if you record it all into the same
(set of) track(s).

I'd assume your piano also has an audio output, so you could plug
it into a computer's line input and record from that. I'd further
assume you'd prefer a "real" piano sound over midi. but I might be
wrong there.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
