About

Root Notes

Features
Read full description

Can you read sheet music at a glance? Root Notes turns sight reading into a short daily game: a note appears on the staff, you find it on the piano keyboard, and the app keeps track of what you actually know. Rather than drilling the whole staff at once, each level grows one note at a time - starting with two notes and ending on all twelve, accidentals included. - Separate treble and bass clef courses, 20 levels each - Six short stages per level, a couple of minutes at a time - Free play mode with the full keyboard - Notes you miss come back more often, notes you know fade out - Every note is played back, so your ear learns along with your eyes - No ads, no accounts, nothing to sign up for Made for beginners working through their first pieces, and for anyone who plays by ear and wants the notation to finally click.
