For music teachers · Reading music
Improve your students' note reading — between lessons.
Assign fluent reading practice they can do every day.
Reading is one of the hardest piano skills to train, and one of the most rewarding. Two tools your students can use — and you can assign from the teacher dashboard.
Tools you can assign
Fun leaps on the staff, or focused drill — pick what fits the student and keep them consistent.
Fun game
Bunny Hop
A bunny hops the grand staff while students play what they see. The most fun note-reading trainer on the platform — fluent reading in leaps, not boring drills. Assign ranges, pieces, or timing modes from your dashboard.

Sight Reading Studio
A serious tool when they don't want a bunny hopping from note to note. Notes on the grand staff, play on the keyboard, dial difficulty with notes per bar and chord texture — ideal as between-lesson homework.
Open Sight Reading StudioHow reading improves
Fluent reading isn't memorising one piece. It's a daily habit of meeting new notes with eyes up and fingers free — and teachers who assign that habit see it stick.
Learn new pieces regularly
Reading improves when students keep meeting unfamiliar notation. Recycling the same piece forever trains memory — not fluent reading. Assign fresh Bunny Hop ranges or Sight Reading sessions each week.
Don't look at the keyboard
Eyes on the score, hands finding the keys. Looking down breaks the reading loop. These tools force the eyes-up habit that transfers to real repertoire.
A little, every day
Short daily reading sessions beat occasional long ones. Set a checklist item for five minutes of Bunny Hop — consistency turns decoding into recognition.
Bunny Hop
Bunny Hop is the most fun note-reading trainer on the platform: a bunny that hops the grand staff while they play what they see. It trains the skill every teacher wants — reading fluently — in leaps, not boring drills.
Random note hopping
Train range by range on the grand staff — 16 bars at a time, with accuracy that earns their carrot. You choose the range when you assign the task.
Real pieces
Hop through built-in pieces or ones they composed in Tinker. Play every note in each chord together — 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 — challenge or graded timing.
Their instrument, their setup
On-screen two-octave keyboard, 49 / 61 / 88-key MIDI, or mic input for piano, guitar, violin, flute, and voice.
Essential foundation: major scales
Knowing major scales is an essential foundation for reading music. Scales give students the geography of the keyboard and the structure behind the notation — so reading stops feeling like random dots. Point them to The 12 Major Scales, or assign course lessons from the dashboard.
