MasterPiano teaches you to read and play sheet music at the piano, with real-time feedback on every note. Connect a MIDI keyboard over USB or Bluetooth, or let MasterPiano listen to your acoustic piano through the microphone. It follows the score as you play and shows right away which notes you hit, which you missed, and how your timing compares to the music. SIGHT-READING THAT GROWS WITH YOU Read a new piece, get a score, and your level moves up or down with every run. Levels run from your very first notes to advanced repertoire, based on the ABRSM sight-reading grades. A LIBRARY OF PIECES Classical favourites and original pieces across every level. Practise in Wait mode, where the music waits for the right note, or Play along with the metronome and get scored on accuracy, rhythm and tempo. A DAILY PLAN The Today tab tells you what to practise next. Follow lessons on your Path, warm up with scales, and sharpen note reading, rhythm, intervals and your ear with short games. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Scores for every run, a map of the bars that need work, your best results, streaks and practice time. Free accounts can practise for 10 minutes a day. MasterPiano Premium removes the daily limit. SUBSCRIPTION MasterPiano Premium is available as a monthly or annual subscription; the annual plan can include a free trial.
