Piano practice

Small tools for learning the piano. They work on a phone, tablet or computer, and with a digital piano over USB.

๐ŸŽน

Keyboard & chords

Play, see any chord or scale on the keys, and get the name of what you're holding.
๐„ž

Note reading

Learn to read treble and bass clef, with a streak and a list of notes to practise.
๐Ÿ‘‚

Ear training

Recognise intervals and chord types by ear, with songs to help you remember them.
โฑ

Metronome

A steady beat with tap tempo, accents and subdivisions.

A 20-minute beginner routine

  1. 5 min note reading. Start with treble clef, on the staff only. Add bass clef once your streak passes 20.
  2. 5 min chords. Pick a key (C, then G and F) and play its major scale and the C, F and G chords in the explorer.
  3. 5 min playing with the metronome. Play the scale hands separately at 60 BPM, one note per click. Go faster only when it's even.
  4. 5 min ear training. Start with major 2nd, major 3rd, perfect 5th and octave.

With a digital piano, connect it by USB and click "Connect MIDI keyboard" on the Keyboard and Note reading pages. That works in Chrome or Edge on a computer or Android, but not on iPhone or iPad. Without a piano, everything works with touch or the computer keyboard.
