A Little Walk in C
C major · ♩ = 66 · first reading
You play well... the pieces you learned by heart.
But put a new score in front of you and you read it note by note. It is not a lack of talent: you were taught pieces, never how to read.
Sound familiar?
- You keep replaying the same three pieces.
- Your left hand falls behind as soon as chords or arpeggios show up.
- You count lines to find a note.
- Every new score feels like starting over.
The only way through: read something new, a little every day.
SightReadly gives you a piece you have never seen, at exactly your level. Play it once, every note is checked, and you watch your reading improve.

Made for readers, not for robots.
Real music, never random notes
Melodic pieces built on the structures of real music: clear phrases, real harmony, an ending that resolves.
Something new, every time
Over 100 pieces, each in all twelve keys: you keep reading music you have never seen. That is how reading improves, not by replaying what you know by heart.
Twenty levels, no cliff
Each level adds one technique: dyads, chords, arpeggios, leaps. When one feels easy, the next feels natural.
Instant feedback, not in three days
No waiting for a teacher to watch your video: on a MIDI keyboard every note is checked while you play, green or red, right away.
It spots your weak points
Keep missing those left-hand arpeggios? SightReadly notices and offers a 5-minute workout made just for that.
A real ranking
Rank points on every first reading, six tiers from Bronze to Master, a trophy for each level. A missed piece costs points.
Kind words from people who used to dread it.
What I like most about SightReadly is that the exercises actually sound musical. It doesn’t feel like I’m practicing random notes. It feels like I’m reading short piano pieces made to help me improve.
Maya R. This app is awesome! I can open it, start a sight-reading exercise immediately, and focus on playing instead of wasting time looking for the right sheet music.
Julien S. I used another sight-reading tool before but it felt too mechanical. SightReadly feels different because the exercises are melodic, progressive, and much more enjoyable to play.
Sofía L. I avoided sight-reading for a long time because I honestly hated it, even knowing it’s one of the best ways to improve. After a few days with SightReadly I already feel way more comfortable on the keyboard. It feels like I wasted so much time not training it properly.
Dylan P. I’ve been doing sight-reading almost every day for about 3 months, and I honestly feel like I improved more during this time than in 2 years of playing piano. Also the melodies are actually beautiful, and it’s really progressive and pedagogical, which makes it way easier to stay consistent.
