Free. No ads, no accounts, no subscriptions. SightRead teaches you to read rhythm and notes the way music schools do: with Kodály syllables, one small step at a time.
RHYTHM, TAUGHT AS A LANGUAGE
Every rhythm has a word. Ta is a quarter note. Ti-Ti is two eighths. Say it, then tap it. SightRead shows real notation with a moving cursor, counts you in, and scores every tap: perfect, great, good, or miss, with early/late feedback so you know which way to fix it.
89 LEVELS ACROSS 23 STAGES
From single quarter notes to sixteenths, dotted rhythms, rests, ties, syncopation, triplets, and 2/4, 3/4, 6/4 and 6/8 time. Each stage introduces exactly one new idea, with a short audio lesson the first time you meet it. Earn stars to unlock the next level, or go back for a three-star run.
THEN, THE NOTES
29 levels of note reading: treble clef from Middle C, sharps and flats, bass clef, ledger lines, and timed rounds. A note lands on the staff, you name it, you hear it. Notes Practice lets you drill exactly the notes you choose: clef, range, accidentals, timed or endless.

FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
Five minutes a day is enough. Music students use it to prepare for theory exams and auditions; teachers use it in class and for homework. It works offline, needs no account, and collects no data.
SightRead is free and stays free.
