Which note is this? Play it on the keys. The two dots of the clef sit either side of the F line.
The full trainer has more notes, the treble clef and a record of the notes you find hardest.
How it works
Connect your piano
With a USB cable or Bluetooth MIDI. No cable? The microphone listens to the piano. No piano? Play on the screen.
Read the note on the staff
You start with a few landmark notes and add the others as you get them right.
Play it
You know straight away if you got it. The notes you find hardest come back more often.

Questions
Do I need to read music already?
No. The course starts with a few landmark notes and adds the others bit by bit. In the trainer you can show the note names beside the staff.
Why the bass clef?
It is the left hand clef, and the one beginners take longest to read. The treble clef is there too, on its own or with the bass clef.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes, with the microphone or the on-screen keys. To connect the piano over Bluetooth MIDI, open the site in the free Web MIDI Browser app, because Safari has no MIDI.
Can I use it with a teacher?
Yes. Share an exercise by link, with the clef, notes and key signature you chose, and print the sheet music on A4.
