In this innovative approach to sightreading, carefully composed variations on the Lesson Book pieces help students see the “new” against the backdrop of the “familiar.” Students play one exercise per day, completing one set per week. By “chunking” musical patterns, students move forward with confidence!

Ratings and Reviews
Needs work, count off option
This is a great idea. However, when you want to play, how are you to hit the play button AND get your hands on the keys to actually start playing? You need a one or two measure count off after you push play, in order to establish a tempo and get ready.
Take a look at the SmartMusic program - it works beautifully, with so many options for tempo, accompaniment, melody, count off, etc.
So, much more work is needed to make this app really functional. I would love to see it work!
Conflicted review
There are things about this app that are brilliant, and others that are extremely frustrating. I’m trying to use this with almost all of my 60 students, but it’s only working for about 50% of them. Usually we get stuck at the log in process, but today all the content was missing. I could only see favorites. On a positive - the fact that I can send 5 days worth of sight reading that relates to the song their working on and is at an appropriate level is incredibly useful.
A good idea for an app
While the intent behind this app and some of the execution are good, there are too many problems to recommend it. For playing the pieces, there is no count off, so it’s impossible to start with the metronome or track. For recording, there is a count off, but if the piece has an upbeat or upbeats, the time signature is wrong.
