Piano Sight Reading: Practice

Master piano sight reading with mic scoring that checks actual pitch, including octave. Flashcards can miss octave mistakes. This app does not. One-minute rounds on treble and bass staff, ledger lines, and key signatures. For beginners through advancing readers.

No piano nearby? Answer with Do-Re-Mi or A-B-C buttons, or tap the on-screen keyboard. At the piano, place your phone on the stand and use mic scoring.

Why this app

Note-name drills often miss the right octave. You might name F on the wrong F. This app scores the pitch you play, including octave, so there is no guessing.

One minute. Mic or on-screen answers. Acoustic piano, digital piano, keyboard apps, letter buttons, or the keyboard diagram.

One note or three-note melody

Most modes offer single notes or three-note melody reading on the staff. Many note apps stop at one pitch name. Here you also read short melodic groups that transfer to real pieces. Lock in with one-note, then move to three-note to read forward.
