Practice until the staff reads You can read music. What is slow is starting from do and counting up every single time — and counting never turns into reading, no matter how much of it you do. You learn the counting path first, then watch the hints come away one step at a time, until a position you used to count is one you read. ■ A range narrow enough to finish Practice that starts too wide goes stale within a week. · Treble and bass switch on and off separately, so you drill the one you actually need. · How far the ledger lines reach is set in two levels, so notes you are not ready for stay out. · The range you picked is drawn on a staff before you start, so you see at a glance what will be asked. ■ Five stages, one hint less each time Handed nothing but a row of notes, most people quit within the week. · The first two stages show the whole counting path, so you learn the path by sight first. · After that the same notes are asked with fewer hints each stage, so you answer from what you have already learned to see. · The counting path is labelled with note names, so it is easy to learn. · The last stage leaves one note and nothing else, as a final check of everything you have practised. ■ Stats that build up note by note One accuracy figure does not tell you what to work on. · Positions are coloured on the staff, so a weak register shows up in the shape you actually read. · Tap a note to see your speed and right-or-wrong record over time. · Your stats can also shape the questions, so a session leans on the notes you find hardest. Records and accounts stay on the device. No sign-in needed.
