Read piano sheet music, note by note.
Start with middle C and work your way to the full grand staff with sharps and flats. Every answer is played on a real-sounding piano, so your eyes, ears and fingers learn together.
Your path
Every level is open from the start. Take a level's test to earn a score: 80% passes and earns a star, 90% two stars, 100% three. Your best test score shows on each practice level so you can track progress.
How it works
Learn
Short lessons introduce each region of the staff, with figures you can hear and small tasks you answer on the piano.
Practice
Adaptive drilling: the notes you miss come back more often until they stick. Peek whenever you want, nothing is graded.
Songs
Simple tunes read note by note in both clefs and on the grand staff: the highlighted note is next, play it to move on. Finished songs unlock an in-tempo mode.
Rhythm
The other half of reading: tap patterns of notes and rests against a metronome, scored on how close to the beat you land.
Test
Twenty questions, one try each, against the clock, plus 60-second sprints and a 90-second Reading Exam that rates your fluency. Only finished runs count.
Progress
Your rating, stars, fluency crowns, a note-by-note mastery map, streaks and your full test history live here.
MIDI
On Chrome or Edge, click MIDI in the piano bar to answer on a real keyboard. Reading real notation at real keys is the skill itself.
Microphone
No MIDI cable? Click Mic in the piano bar and play your acoustic or electric piano out loud: it hears each note and presses the key for you. Works on Android and iOS.
Practice
Pick a level and read the notes on the staff, pressing each key on the piano below in order. Missed notes come back more often, and return a few rounds later for an unaided retry.
Intro Songs
Short tunes to read note by note, easiest first, in both clefs. Finish a song once and its in-tempo mode unlocks.
Songs
Browse the library, or load your own: a YouTube video (a keyboard-cam is ideal), a MusicXML or MIDI score (with or without a video), or a saved song file. Then study it with the flowing sheet, the falling-notes roll, slow motion, looping and sync points.A YouTube link plays the video. A MusicXML or MIDI file becomes a playable song on its own (add a video later to sync them). A .bpq.json file restores a whole saved study.
The presentation area shows two panes you choose with the Top and Bottom pickers: cropped or full video, the flowing sheet, the piano roll, or nothing. Drag the divider between them to resize; use the ⛶ corner button (or F) for fullscreen.
Drag on the video or the sheet to scrub; a click on the video plays/pauses, a click on a note plays that note. Add a MusicXML or MIDI file to see the score flow along; with a video, drop sync points on the notes that match the frame for a tight fit.

Rhythm
Reading has two halves: which note, and when. Pick a pattern, press start, and after the four-click count-in tap any piano key (or the space bar) exactly on each note. Rests are counted silence: no tap.

Free play
Play anything on the piano below and watch it appear on the grand staff, with the interval from the previous note named. A nice way to reverse-check your reading: guess where the note will land before you press.
