Learn to read and play notes easily on your instrument. Learn to hear the notes when you see them on the staff and be able to play them by hearing their sound in your head. This builds upon our revolutionary method of learning instruments by ear, allowing you to become musically literate in the way that is much more effective as is done through imagining sounds that you are going to play when you see a note - not mere mechanical playing. And all that without too much thinking - you just will learn to sight-read and play with our app.
