Piano reading practice help
TypePiano works in your browser, so you can practice piano note reading without installing an app or owning a MIDI keyboard. Use a computer keyboard, the on-screen piano, or MIDI input.
Note-recognition drills and sight-reading are related but different. Drills make individual notes faster; interactive sheet music helps you apply that recognition to rhythm, intervals, and continuous phrases.
