Every time you look at sheet music, do you find yourself counting notes one by one? Has your teacher ever told you to “read more fluently”? FUYOTORE is here to help. FUYOTORE is a sight-reading training app designed especially for piano learners. It focuses on the grand staff used in piano music, combining treble and bass clefs to help you build practical note-reading skills. Through focused, repeated practice, you can move from “counting note positions” to recognizing notes naturally. Build the foundation of sight-reading in a simple, game-like way. Sight-reading training for the piano grand staff FUYOTORE is designed specifically for reading the grand staff used in piano music. You can gradually develop the ability to read notes with both hands in mind, not just one hand at a time. 50 carefully designed difficulty levels In LV1–5, available for free, you can practice basic notes for each hand and simple two-hand combinations. These levels are ideal for learners who want to start by memorizing note positions. With the Pro version, LV6–50 are unlocked. The levels gradually introduce ledger lines, key signatures, and a wider note range, helping you expand your reading ability step by step. The goal is to reach LV50 and build a strong foundation for sight-reading at the piano. Correct note display with key signatures FUYOTORE supports natural note notation with key signatures, including sharps and flats. Because the notes are displayed in a way that closely matches real sheet music, the skills you practice can directly support your piano playing. Aim higher with the Pro version FUYOTORE Pro is a one-time purchase of ¥980. No additional charges. No subscription. Pro features Unlock LV6–50 Use all 50 levels, including ledger lines, key signatures, and a wider note range. Auto-advance mode Move to the next note without stopping your hands, helping you keep a steady sense of tempo. Ideal for sight-reading practice that feels closer to real performance. MIDI keyboard / digital piano input mode Connect a MIDI keyboard or digital piano and answer by actually playing the keys. Compared with tapping on the screen, this mode lets you train sight-reading skills in a way that connects more directly to real piano performance. Please connect your device to your iPhone or iPad using wired MIDI or Bluetooth MIDI. Custom mode Customize your practice settings to focus on weak areas or challenge yourself with more difficult exercises. Recommended for Learners who count notes one by one when reading sheet music Beginners who find piano note reading difficult Self-taught learners who want to improve their sight-reading skills Learners who want to practice with a MIDI keyboard Students preparing for recitals, exams, or sight-reading tests FUYOTORE Pro is a one-time purchase of ¥980.
