"I've been a piano teacher for many years and wished such a tool would have been on the market 20 years ago - would have saved lots of frustrated hours of repetitions..... Wonderful app to learn and train the notes and their names and where to find them on the piano."

Does not work with MIDI Piano
Casey1938373
Tested my MIDI connection from my piano with MIDI Monitor and it works fine. Also works fine in Garage Band but fails to work with this app. I tried all the steps on their support site with no luck. Please fix!!!
Very Helpful, and fun, too!

I'm a fifty-something newbie to reading music, and this app is the best of the 4 or 5 I've tried. With all of the different settings, you can start at the absolute beginning--but then, as you progress, you'll be able to tweak various settings and keep challenging yourself. WELL worth the money!
Melhor Piano App para Aperfeicoamento
rsakakibara
Tenho este como o melhor aplicativo para aperfeicoamento de leitura de partituras, que utilizo sempre como um bom livro de cabeceira antes de dormir e nas horas vagas, que por serem raras tornam a eficiência e simplicidade de um bom software um requisito. Assim somado a prática diária com um piano real acredito compor uma excelente estrategia para a iniciação. Seria uma boa evolução o software receber funcionalidade de permitir a seleçao de notas de outras durações. O único ponto que vejo como negativo é tenho a sensaçã que o algoritmo de aleatoridade parece não ser muito eficiente pois tenho sempre a percepção de repetição, motivo pelo qual atribuo apenas 4 estrelas!

Nice idea but buggy

Using this to practice chords with multiple sharps never work properly. After hitting one or two chords correctly it acts very funky.
Excellent

I got my wife an iRig Keys keyboard for Christmas, and she really wanted something to use with it to learn to sight read. I tried a number of other apps before finding this one, and it's by far the best. Works perfectly with the keyboard too.
Disappointed student?

This app is confusing. The "lessons" contain only random notes. It makes no musical sense, and the interface is also confusing, meaning that when you are to change hands, it is very difficult to know when you've gone from treble to bass. There ought to be a possible upgrade for actual music and a "double decker" keyboard layout, you know, left hand on top and right hand on the bottom. So far, not worth the money or time.
BY FAR the best app for learning to sight read
What Tech Support?
I've acquired more sight reading ability, and done so faster, with this app than with any other I've tried (and I've tried a lot). I use it with my Yamaha MIDI keyboard. I can set the range of notes I want to learn in the treble clef and/or in the bass clef. I began by selecting ABCDE in the treble clef with the middle finger on C. Then I did the same range and hand position in the bass clef. After becoming proficient at that, I broadened the range of notes to GABCDEF so that I only had to reach up or down one note from those home hand positions. This app made it SO easy to select the range of notes I needed to learn. If you have a MIDI capable keyboard call you music store, get the MIDI to USB cable you need and the USB adapter for your iPad and you're good to go. Everybody should learn piano this way.
AMAZING!!!

15 minutes a day has turned my daughters piano lessons from a struggle to a delight. Her teacher can't believe the progress she has made with her sight reading. I credit this application with that progress--completely. Flash cards never worked well for her, nor did the numerous other methods we tried. But ever since I hooked my ipad to our full sized 88 key digital piano, she has begun excelling. My sincere thanks to developer of this app!
Useful, but ugly
jadetris
I purchased several of these apps. This was by far the best in terms of functionality. It allows custom ranges which has helped me immensely in my progress by slowly increasing the number of notes being tested. My only complaint is that I find it aesthetically very ugly. Overall, I love this app and it was worth every penny.
Excellent

This is a great supplemental theory program for my young piano students. Easy to choose what areas need worked on and I can keep track of their progress. The kids live that they are using the iPad for theory instead of using boring old books! I recommend this for private teachers of young students just learning to read music.
