Apps to learn to sight read
on: January 29, 2024, 10:11:42 PM
Hi,

I'm trying to get better at sight reading (I'm awful at it) and I was wondering if anyone is aware of a good app for this.

I've looked at the descriptions of several piano learning apps, but I have yet to see what I have in mind. I'm thinking about an app that would have sight reading drills. Something along the lines of a random series of notes or sets of notes that appear and that you have to play on the keyboard, and you have to get as many of them correct in a set amount of time. A bit like the Music Tutor app for phones, but where you would have to hit the keys instead of the note's name on the screen, and (ideally) with more than just single notes at at time.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I should have mentionned that I'm on Windows and Android.

I found the Piano Marvel website, which has pretty much what I'm looking for, although it has some flaws.

https://imslp.org/wiki/Sight_Reading_Exercises%2C_Op.45_(Sartorio%2C_Arnoldo) this book of sight reading exercises often gets passed around here, but it's not an app, just a normal book. But a highly useful one.
