Clefhanger

Sight-reading is the wall most music learners hit, and most drills quiz you on notes nobody ever taught you, so you guess instead of read.

What it does

Actually learn to sight-read, one note at a time, building from middle C up to the full grand staff.

Currently

Live and browser-only with no signup. You see a note, tap the piano key, and level up as you go. It teaches each new note before it quizzes you on it, and it ramps from middle C out to the full grand staff.

How I built it

I built this because every sight-reading app I tried threw notes at me before teaching them, which just trains anxiety. Clefhanger introduces each new note first, then quizzes it, so you are always reading rather than guessing, and it widens from middle C to the full grand staff as you improve. The decision that mattered most was teach-then-test as a hard rule: nothing shows up in a quiz until you have met it.
