About

This free tool is a labor of love to help you (and me!) practice sight reading. It's a work in progress. Future plans include moving beyond rhythms and into harmony and melody and into sight reading exercises for voice and for other instruments.

Money, money, money

There are no ads, no tracking, no data collection, no cookies, no paid app upsells.

I intend to keep this site free forever. I'll probably add a dontation button in the future once I deem the tool worthy.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted to any servers. Your practice sessions, settings, and progress remain private on your device.

Terms

This tool is provided free of charge for educational purposes. Use it responsibly and enjoy practicing your sight reading skills!

Accessibility

I tried my best to make this tool accessible. If you find any issues, please let me know. Use the space bar to play and stop the playback. Use the right arrow key for a new exercise. Dark mode is available too based on your system preferences.

Install this app

You can install this app on your device which will allow you to practice sight reading offline.

On iOS or Android, you can long press the "Share" button and select "Add to Home Screen".

On desktop Chrome the "Install" button should appear in the address bar.
