From individual notes to a musical phrase

A little preparation.
A more confident first read.

Choose a manageable challenge, study the music, and play after the count-in. Each new phrase gives you another chance to put your reading skills to work.

01 / READ

Fresh melodies to explore

Practice newly generated musical phrases, from simple note values to more challenging rhythms. Choose one to four measures.

02 / PLAY

Your instrument. Your notes.

Choose your instrument and clef. Practice reading in the written pitches for your instrument, including transposing band instruments.

03 / LISTEN

Feedback as you learn

Use your microphone for feedback on notes and rhythm. Tap a red note or rest afterward for help, then try the phrase again.

04 / EXPLORE

Major and minor melodies

Explore major, natural minor, and harmonic minor. Choose a key signature and listen for the character of each kind of melody.

05 / FOCUS

Practice at your level

Choose your notes, rhythms, tempo, and time signature. Keep the challenge focused on the skills you are learning.

06 / UNDERSTAND

Help when you need it

Use Practice First to study the phrase, reveal note names, work through the counting, and check your pitch with the classic tuner.

Study it. Then sight-read it.

Two ways to build
one musical skill.

Get familiar with a phrase in Practice First, or choose Sight Reading to put your preparation into practice. Keep the beat moving, even if you miss a note.

Sight ReadingPractice First
BEFORE YOU PLAY

Look first. Listen closely.

Check the clef, key signature, time signature, and rhythm. Read silently, then start after the count-in. Tongue every note clearly so the app can hear each new note.

Simple to start

From looking at the music
to playing the phrase.

STEP 1

Choose your challenge

Select your instrument, key, level, and tempo. Start with a short phrase and build from there.

STEP 2

Read before you play

Look through the whole phrase. Notice the key signature, count the rhythm, and plan your first notes.

STEP 3

Play, review, and grow

Play after the count-in. Review the feedback, retry the phrase, or move on to a fresh melody.

Good to know

A few quick answers.

Who is SightTrax for?

Students learning to read melodies on their instruments, and the teachers who guide them. Choose a level and note range that fit the student.

Do I need to download an app?

SightTrax runs in a web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. Internet access is required.

Does it need a microphone?

Microphone permission is needed to listen to your playing and give performance feedback. Play in a quiet space and articulate each note clearly.

What do gray notes mean?

A gray note means the app could not confidently assess what it heard. It is not the same as a confirmed mistake. Try the phrase again with clear articulation.
