Sprout: Let's Read Notes
Daily Sight-Reading Practice
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Sprout helps kids learn to read sheet music the way they'll actually use
it — by naming notes on a real musical staff, a little every day, until
it's fast and automatic.
HOW IT WORKS
Each kid gets their own profile: an avatar, a practice range, and a
progress calendar that's entirely their own. Tap Practice Now, and a note
appears on the staff — treble, bass, alto, or tenor clef. Name the letter,
get instant feedback (the note lights up green or red, and you hear the
actual pitch), and move to the next one. A full session is just a few
minutes.
BUILT FOR REPETITION, NOT LEVELS
There's no ladder of levels to unlock. You (parent or teacher) set exactly
which notes are in play — a note range, one or more clefs, whether sharps
and flats are included — and every session draws from just that set. Start
narrow while a note is still shaky, then widen the range once it's
automatic.
ADVANCED MODE: REAL KEY SIGNATURES
For a kid ready for the next step, turn on key signatures — the staff
shows a real printed key (any major or minor key, from no sharps/flats up
to 7 of either), and the kid reads notes exactly the way they'd appear in
real sheet music. Tick more keys to mix up the difficulty.
A DASHBOARD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
No tabs, no menus — the home screen is a card per kid, each with their
avatar, current streak, and a mini calendar of practice stamps. Add as many
kids as you're teaching.
A STREAK WORTH KEEPING
Every day practiced gets a stamp, colored by how accurate that session was.
A little sprout badge grows the longer the streak runs. Tap into any kid's
full calendar for total sessions, overall accuracy, and a 14-day accuracy
trend.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Sprout doesn't have accounts, doesn't show ads, and doesn't collect any
data at all — every profile, session, and streak is stored only on this
device. Nothing is ever sent anywhere. It works fully offline after the
first launch.
Perfect for beginner piano, violin, guitar, or any instrument where
reading standard notation is part of the plan — and for the parent or
teacher guiding that practice.

NEW: Piano Terms quiz!
Practice words like allegro, forte and staccato. Each question shows a
term with four possible meanings, and your child taps the right one.
Choose a grade from 1 to 8 to match how far along your child is, pick
how many questions per round, and watch the streak grow — quiz rounds
count toward the daily practice calendar just like sight reading.
BETTER ON EVERY SCREEN
Sprout now looks great in both portrait and landscape, on phones and
tablets. Practice questions, the progress calendar and the dashboard all
adapt to the screen so nothing gets squashed or cut off.
Practice Now now lets you choose between Sight Reading and Piano Terms.
