Features

Real-time Feedback

Notes light up green or red as you play, so you know exactly where you stand.

MIDI Keyboard Support

Plug in any MIDI keyboard via USB or Bluetooth and start practising immediately.

Track Progress

Review your session history, accuracy trends, and see how you improve over time.

Why Sight Reader?

Existing sight-reading apps are limited, often platform-specific, and lack customisation. We built something better.

Multiple ways to learn

Library, single notes & chords, scales — something for every level.

A growing library

Browse our collection or add your own pieces to practise with our engine.

Free to use

Access everything for free. Sign up to track your progress across sessions.

Don't have a MIDI keyboard?

You can use Sight Reader without one — you can still browse pieces and play them manually. But for the best experience, a MIDI keyboard is the way to go. Here are some options to suit every budget.
