Hyper Flow Piano vs SightReader

Hyper Flow Piano turns scale and chord practice into something you actually want to do. As well as many other practise exercises for learning the piano Connect a MIDI keyboard, choose your key and mode, and play — the app gives you instant visual feedback on every note, so you always know exactly where you are and what comes next. No waiting for a teacher to correct you. No guessing. Just play, see, improve. What you can practise: Scales across all 12 keys and 7 modes, plus harmonic and melodic minor Arpeggios and chord inversions Chords and their voicings Ear training for intervals, chord quality and modes Harmony Scales — an exercise mode that combines left-hand scale degrees with right-hand arpeggios, with visual bloom animations as you play Built around ABRSM grades Every scale, arpeggio and chord is mapped to ABRSM grade requirements, so your practice always counts towards your next exam. Correct fingering, always visible Proper fingering is shown for every scale in every key — so you build good habits from the start, not bad ones you have to unlearn later. Why it works Most people struggle with scales not because they lack talent, but because traditional practice gives you no feedback until something goes wrong. Hyper Flow Piano shows you what's happening in real time, so your brain stays engaged and progress happens faster. Requirements A MIDI keyboard or digital piano with USB MIDI output is recommended to use the app. Most modern keyboards are compatible. Can also be used with an acoustic piano but this is not as accurate.

A fun, effective way to learn piano sight reading, tested by piano teachers. Stop memorising every piece note by note. SightReader teaches you to play new music straight from the page, in just five minutes a day. From your first middle C to Grade 8. Most apps check which notes you play. SightReader also checks when. Switch on the metronome and Pitch & Rhythm mode grades your timing beat by beat, the part of sight reading that usually goes unmeasured. ON IPHONE AND IPAD, THE APP IS THE ONLY WAY No browser on iOS can reach a MIDI keyboard. Not Safari, and not Chrome, Edge or Firefox, because Apple requires them all to use Safari's engine. The app connects to your keyboard directly, over USB or Bluetooth. HOW IT WORKS Plug in a MIDI keyboard, or use the on-screen one. A note appears on the staff. You play it. SightReader listens in real time and shows you what you nailed and what you missed: notes turn green when you're right, red when you're not, and with the metronome on, blue when you're early and yellow when you're late. You see what you played and how you timed it. PITCH & RHYTHM MODE The metronome is the switch. Off, you're in Pitch Only and the score waits while you find each note. On, Pitch & Rhythm takes over: a count-in of at least four clicks, then the music moves at the beat with or without you, and every note is judged on when it lands as well as whether it's right. Early shades blue, late shades yellow, missed goes red. Each attempt ends with a timing breakdown: how much you played on time, how much early, how much late, and your average tendency in milliseconds, so "94ms early" names the habit you can work on. Play a piece start to finish in Pitch & Rhythm and you earn bonus XP. It works on every piece, free tier included.
