What’s live, what’s next

One thing is finished: read a real passage, see every note marked, read another. Everything else on this site is somewhere on the list below.

Live now

Finished and held to the full standard.

  • Read a passage Four bars of real repertoire at one of ten levels, on screen keys or a digital piano (MIDI); every note marked; Next loads another.
  • Wait mode and in-tempo mode The cursor waits for you, or a metronome does not — in tempo needs a MIDI piano.
  • The marked score, and a shareable read Green for read cleanly, red for the note you played instead; save the image or a short video of the take.
  • Guides and trainers How to read sheet music, clefs, ledger lines, key signatures, rhythm, note-reading drills.

Preview

Usable today, unfinished. Try them; expect edges.

  • Pieces Listen to and read any section of 138 pieces. Pins and saved passages arrive with accounts.
  • Find your level Three minutes: what you play on, a rough level, one real passage.
  • The ten levels What each level looks like, with a real passage per level.
  • Chord recognition Name the harmony in real pieces; scoring and progress arrive with accounts.

Building

In progress. Ships after accounts.

  • Accounts Your level and your reads follow you across devices and the iOS app.
  • Progress Your reads, where reading broke down, and what to read next.
  • Today A daily ten-minute session built from your reads.
  • Suggested exercises The bars you missed, picked from your last reads.

Planned

Decided, not started.

  • Practice from your repertoire Sessions drawn from the pieces you are working on.
  • For teachers Assign a level or a piece; see each student’s marked read.
  • Drills away from the piano Five-minute drills on your phone, from your own pieces.
  • Acoustic pianos beyond single notes Microphone input for chords and two hands.

Recently shipped

  • Home and /read: the headline stays in view on arrival; phones fit headline, passage and keys on one screen; Next passage is the one solid button after every read.
  • Two harmony pages that crashed on load are back (chord inversions, seventh chords).
  • Home shows previous/next passage arrows beside the level dial; history restores the passage and its level.
  • A connected MIDI piano keeps the screen awake while you practise.
  • Phone reader: notation size is remembered per screen; keyboards flex around the engraved height.
  • Share a short video of your take, rendered on the device.
  • Wait mode draws the wrong note you played as a red ghost at the cursor.
  • Home and /read became one reader; the first passage no longer asks anything before you play.
