As a piano teacher I’m always seeking new tools to make sight reading easier for my students. So finding this app was a nice surprise! From what I know it’s the only one that focuses on both practice and understanding, building real confidence as you progress. It’s based on the landmark notes method used in Europe and also recently popular in some online courses, which I find much more effective and intuitive than the old and frustrating Ever Good Boy Does Fine approach. Here this landmark system is made even better with cool visual tips, emphasis on intervals, and fun exercises. My students and I are fans!

Feature Request: Disable Labeled Notes
phntm-
Loving the app so far! I have a feature request to disable the labeled notes on the keyboard! I would like to be able to memorize the positions of the keys without reading the note on each one. Thanks!
Developer Response
Thanks for the great feedback! Good news, you can already do this in Flash Note mode 😊 Open Input Options and select "Piano Keyboard - Without note names".In the introductory lessons and modes, the labels are part of the visual learning method, but Flash Note lets you remove them once you're ready to rely on the keyboard positions alone. Hope this is exactly what you were looking for!
Exactly What I Wanted

This is exactly what I wanted when I was looking for an app to help read music. The progression is perfect for a beginner and helps build upon itself. Pretty deep in the lessons and havent seen a single ad. Huge help for me.
Developer Response
Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the step-by-step progression, and yes Notaforte is completely ad-free and will stay that way ;)
Amazing

We absolutely love this app. Both my husband and I were impressed at the teaching method. Our 6 year old is showing big improvements in learning how to read sheet music as she learns guitar along side.
