For learners Β· Reading music

Learn to read music and get more fluent.

Improve every day with our training tools.

Reading is one of the hardest piano skills to train, and one of the most rewarding. We have two tools you can use.

Tools

Fun leaps on the staff, or focused drill β€” pick what fits your mood and stay consistent.

Fun game

Bunny Hop

A bunny hops the grand staff while you play what you see. The most fun note-reading trainer on the platform β€” it trains fluent reading in leaps, not boring drills.

Serious practice

Sight Reading Studio

A serious tool if you don't want a bunny hopping from note to note. See notes on the grand staff, play them on the keyboard, and dial difficulty with notes per bar and chord texture.

How reading improves

Fluent reading isn't memorising one piece. It's a daily habit of meeting new notes with eyes up and fingers free.

Learn new pieces regularly

Reading improves when you keep meeting unfamiliar notation. Recycling the same piece forever trains memory β€” not fluent reading.

Don't look at the keyboard

Eyes on the score, hands finding the keys. Looking down breaks the reading loop and slows you down exactly when you need speed and confidence.

A little, every day

Short daily reading sessions beat occasional long ones. Consistency turns β€œdecoding notes” into instantaneous recognition.

Bunny Hop

Bunny Hop is the most fun note-reading trainer on the platform: a bunny that hops the grand staff while you play what you see. It trains the skill everyone wants β€” reading fluently β€” in leaps, not boring drills.

Random note hopping

Train range by range on the grand staff β€” 16 bars at a time, with accuracy that earns your carrot.

Real pieces

Hop through built-in pieces or ones you composed in Tinker. Play every note in each chord together β€” true reading under pressure.

Stepwise or in time

Play when the bunny reaches the green line, or lock to the beat with metronome count-in or continuous click β€” challenge or graded timing.

Your instrument, your setup

On-screen two-octave keyboard, 49 / 61 / 88-key MIDI, or mic input for piano, guitar, violin, flute, and voice.

Essential foundation: know your major scales

Knowing your major scales is an essential foundation for reading music. Scales give you the geography of the keyboard and the structure behind the notation β€” so reading stops feeling like random dots. Start with The 12 Major Scales.
