## What is Piano Sight Reading?

Master piano sight reading with mic scoring that checks actual pitch—including octave. Flashcards can hide octave mistakes; this app does not. One-minute rounds on treble & bass staff, ledger lines, and key signatures. Beginners to advancing readers.

Simple, steady practice that builds real reading skill. Stick with it—and notes stop feeling scary.

Why pianists use this

Traditional note-name drills can't tell if you played the right pitch in the right octave. You might nail "F" on the wrong F. This app listens and scores the actual note you played, so there's no guessing—same clarity you'd want from a teacher nodding (or stopping you) at the lesson.

How practice works

Instant scoring Set your phone on the music stand (acoustic piano, digital piano, or another device running piano sounds). Play the written note; you get quick feedback—think karaoke scoring or a fast yes/no from the bench.

Just one minute Each round is 60 seconds. Small wins add up: "Today I cleared one more prompt than yesterday." That consistency is what moves sight reading forward.

What you can practice

• Intro Practice (free): Treble C–G. Optional short sets (e.g., three-note prompts). • Which C? (free): Train octave awareness and keyboard landmarks—not just letter names. • Basic Practice: Treble, bass, and grand staff; includes sharps and flats. • Position Practice: Five-finger positions (treble/bass G and F positions; more coming). Great alongside popular method books. • Vertical Reading: Lines vs. spaces—stay inside a narrow range and read faster. • Ledger Lines: Above/below the staff where readers commonly stumble. • Key Signatures: Includes two-note prompts where helpful.

Try before you buy: Intro (treble C–G) and Which C? stay unlimited and free. Pricing: No ads. No subscriptions. Pay once per mode—or unlock All Modes for positions, ledger lines, all 24 keys, and beyond.

Built for real lesson friction

Random prompts discourage memorized finger paths and encourage eyes-on-the-staff reading. Parents spend less time policing mistakes—the score carries the feedback.

Parents

Turn correction into encouragement: the app shows clear results so every answer doesn't become a mini-lesson. Useful for building an independent daily habit (even one minute)—skills that transfer to real sheet music, not just game screens.

Teachers

Assign quick home sight-reading maintenance so lesson time can go to music—not decoding. Works well alongside solfège routines.

Adults & returning learners

Fast feedback keeps sessions decisive; pair with your method book or teacher repertoire.

Technical

Works offline on iOS 16+. Mic accuracy varies by instrument and room; singing can trigger detection—verify in the free modes first. Very low notes may respond more slowly (harmonics/latency). We keep refining performance—thanks for your patience.
