About

Sight Reading

Features
Read full description

Piano Learn is a piano sight-reading execution trainer. It helps you turn “I can read it” into “I can play it—faster, with fewer stops.” It is not a from-zero hand-technique course, and it does not promise pop play-along or finger-position correction. AT THE KEYS • Level-by-level path with goals stated before you start • Beginner route for foundations; short-piece route for sight-reading through phrases • Pass on accuracy and reaction—execution, not arcade fluff FREE PRACTICE • Pick what you need: find-by-name, single-note & phrase reading, ear, rhythm, and more • “Today’s 3” so you can open and start • Adjust range, timers, and feedback; drill weak notes HONEST LIMITS Touch screen is great for mapping and reaction. Hand shape and touch belong on a real piano. Some modules score pitch only—they do not check which finger you used or how you pressed the key. Best for: sight-reading practice, weak-spot drills, and short daily habits. MIDI keyboards supported where the device allows. - The subscriptions are $1.99 weekly with free trial - Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase - Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period - Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal - Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase - Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that service, where applicable - Terms of use: https://support.solfegehub.com/PianoLearnTerms_en.html - Privacy of use: https://support.solfegehub.com/PianoLearnPrivacy_en.html
