Master piano sight reading with mic scoring that checks actual pitch, including octave. Flashcards can miss octave mistakes. This app does not. One-minute rounds on treble and bass staff, ledger lines, and key signatures. For beginners through advancing readers. No piano nearby? Answer with Do-Re-Mi or A-B-C buttons, or tap the on-screen keyboard. At the piano, place your phone on the stand and use mic scoring. Why this app Note-name drills often miss the right octave. You might name F on the wrong F. This app scores the pitch you play, including octave, so there is no guessing. One minute. Mic or on-screen answers. Acoustic piano, digital piano, keyboard apps, letter buttons, or the keyboard diagram. One note or three-note melody Most modes offer single notes or three-note melody reading on the staff. Many note apps stop at one pitch name. Here you also read short melodic groups that transfer to real pieces. Lock in with one-note, then move to three-note to read forward. Practice styles - Random: Everyday mixed drills. - Review: Missed notes repeat until they stick. - Challenge: Five misses and the round ends. Stops mindless tapping. Kids learn to look before they press. What you can practice - Intro Practice, free: Treble C to G, or C up to high C. One-note or three-note melody reading. - Which C?, free: Octave awareness and keyboard landmarks. - Basic Practice: Treble, bass, and grand staff, with sharps and flats. One-note or three-note. - Position Practice: Beginner five-finger positions. Treble G, F, D, A, E, B, High C, Middle C. Bass C, Low G, G, D, A, E, B, Low F, F. One-note or three-note in each. - Vertical Reading: Lines versus spaces for faster reading. - Ledger Lines: Above and below the staff. - Key Signatures: Includes two-note prompts where helpful. Intro, Basic, Position, Vertical Reading, and more switch between one-note and three-note melody reading. Try before you buy. Intro and Which C? stay free and unlimited. No ads. No subscriptions. Pay once per mode, or unlock All Modes. For lessons and home Random prompts keep eyes on the staff. Review fixes weak notes. Challenge stops guessing. Parents get clear results without turning every answer into a mini-lesson. Teachers can assign one-minute homework. Adults can practice with buttons on the go, then confirm at the piano with the mic. Works offline on iOS 16 and later. Mic accuracy varies by room and instrument. Singing can trigger detection. Check free modes first. Very low notes may respond more slowly.
