Reviews of Read Ahead Piano Sight Reading

  • Just needs a bit more polish

    Wishlist:
    *ability to choose a 2 bar read ahead length
    *ability to turn pages with a single tap instead of a swipe
    *eliminate flicker on graphics changes
    *contemporary examples
    *open score exercises (open score SATB or similar)
  • Idea may be good but app not working

    I click to turn on the metronome and .. nothing, total silence (the intro video played just fine). That kind of blows the whole thing… This is on an iPad.

    Developer Response

    If you swipe down from the upper right corner of the screen to get to the control panel, you will see the bell icon. It is probably red, which means the audio is muted. Tap this and you should be good to go. For some reason, the video bypasses this.
  • Nice concept, incomplete implementation

    The basic idea of Read Ahead is pedagogically good, forcing you to read ahead & develop confidence in hands & keys. But the app could well include feedback on playing accuracy to be more helpful. I have a MIDI keyboard connected and it is entirely feasible for the app to at least tell wrong notes (other apps do) and perhaps even timing. I don’t think meaningful enhancements like this are being done on it any more. EDIT: (to developer response) Thanks for the response. “Learn to hear your own wrong notes” sounds good. But the app (a) won’t record and playback MIDI which is what my piano feeds my iPad, and (b) won’t play the original correct score either. Or did I miss these functions? Hoping to be constructive & that you find some ideas for improvement!

    Developer Response

    I'm glad you approve of the pedagogy since this is the single most important aspect of the app. Good pedagogy includes learning to hear your own wrong notes rather than relying on a machine to point them out to you. That’s why we added the recording feature. Everyone makes mistakes when sight-reading, and no one should be graded or scored on these normal inaccuracies. On the contrary, the ability to keep going, simplify, and improvise when sight-reading should be encouraged and rewarded.
