The basics
Can’t read the staff yet? Start here.
Five short steps, each with a guide and a free trainer. Then a real passage at level 1 — the same funnel everyone else is in, one rung lower.
-
The treble clef
The lines and spaces of the right-hand staff, and the trick that makes them stick.
-
The bass clef
Same idea, other hand. Most people find this the harder one — it is only unfamiliar.
-
Both hands at once
Reading two staves as one system: the grand staff, and where middle C sits between them.
-
Rhythm
Note values, rests, and keeping time — tapped against a beat, marked early or late.
-
Key signatures
Which notes are sharp or flat before you even start — the order of sharps and flats.
-
Now read a real passage
A few bars from a real piece at level 1 — one hand, stepwise, the cursor waits for you. That’s sight reading; everything above was for this.
