## What is Klavia?

Sheet music that waits for you.

Bring in a PDF or MusicXML file, scan a printed page with your camera, or pick a classical piece from the free Klavia Library. Klavia turns it into a score you can hear, slow down, loop and practise against. Play the right key and the music moves on. Play a wrong one and it simply waits.

SCAN YOUR OWN SHEET MUSIC
Point your camera at a printed page and Klavia converts it into a playable score. Add more pages to the same piece, or scan a page again if it didn’t come out right.
Free: 1 scan to try it. Premium: 20 scans every month.

PRACTISE THE WAY YOU LEARN
Wait mode: the next note is marked and the music holds until you play it. No rushing, no guessing.
Three views: the score, falling notes over a keyboard, or Hint mode.
Play from memory: switch off the next-note marker and Hint mode still lights the right key after two wrong tries.

MAKE HARD PASSAGES EASY
Loop the bars you keep missing: drag the handles over the score, the falling notes or the Hint line.
One hand at a time, or both together. The other hand stays faded on the score.
Any tempo, with metronome and count-in. Start slow, speed up when it flows.
Note names on the notes while you are learning the staff.

FINGERING, WORKED OUT
Smart fingering (Premium) adds finger numbers 1-5 to the music you import or scan, so you never guess which finger starts the run.
Built-in finger practice: 48 scales, 13 arpeggios and 20 finger-independence studies, each with a target tempo and fingering printed on it.

KLAVIA LIBRARY: CLASSICAL MUSIC, READY TO PLAY
Public-domain pieces, many in Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced arrangements so you can start at your own level.New pieces are added gradually.

BEST WITH A MIDI KEYBOARD
Connect a MIDI keyboard by USB, Bluetooth or network and Klavia hears every note exactly, including chords and fast passages. With an acoustic piano you can use the microphone instead. It works well for single notes; several notes at once are harder to detect, so some chords may be missed. We keep improving it, but for the most accurate results use MIDI.

WHAT WORKS BEST
Klavia reads MusicXML most accurately, and PDFs exported from notation software such as MuseScore, Finale or flat.io. Scans of printed music work best with clean, well-lit pages. Handwritten music, crumpled pages and dense or very small print may need a second scan, and a scanned score can contain mistakes, so check it against your page.

WHAT’S FREE
1 PDF conversion, 1 scan, 2 MusicXML uploads and 2 pieces from the Klavia Library
All scales and arpeggio exercises, plus the first finger-independence exercise
Note names, falling notes, Hint mode, looping, metronome, hands-separate practice, MIDI and microphone practice
