SightReader
Piano practice for every grade
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A fun, effective way to learn piano sight reading - tested by piano teachers.
Stop memorising every piece note by note. SightReader builds the skill that travels with you - reading music on sight - in just five minutes a day. From your first middle C to Grade 8.
HOW IT WORKS
Plug in a MIDI keyboard, or use the on-screen one. A note appears on the staff. You play it. SightReader listens in real time and shows you exactly what you nailed and what you missed: notes turn green when you're right, red when you're not. No vague "good job" - you see exactly what you played.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• A library spanning four centuries of piano: Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern, from Bach and Mozart to Debussy and Bartók
• ABRSM-aligned exercises, grade by grade, from Initial to Grade 8
• Note and chord drills, plus every type of scale
• Levels for every stage, from first-time readers to late-grade repertoire
• A practice journal logging every session, so you can see which keys, clefs and intervals trip you up, down to the individual note
