Piano sight-reading trainer for your browser

Learn to read sheet music at your piano.

Read music the way you read words. Stavia listens as you play, shows you one note at a time, and moves the music forward when you find it on the keys.

How it works

How Stavia teaches piano sight-reading

  1. Sit down at your piano

    Open Stavia in your browser and play. It listens through the microphone — no cables, no MIDI, and it works with acoustic and digital pianos alike.

  2. Learn notes by landmark

    Instead of memorizing every line and space, you anchor to a few landmark notes and learn each new note as a neighbor of one you already know.

  3. Play to move forward

    A note lights up on the staff; you find it on your keys. Play the right one and the phrase advances — reading turns into reflex, one note at a time.
