Sheet to Sound

Start from a photo. Finish playing it.

A page from a method book, a printed score, a PDF you already own. Photograph it or drop it in, and it comes back as music you can hear, correct and practise.

  1. Drop it in. PDF, PNG or JPG, multi-page PDFs welcome. It runs on your own device and nothing is uploaded.
  2. Hear what it read. The scanner plays the page straight back, so you catch anything it misread before you learn it wrong.
  3. Play it in the trainer. The score opens in sight reading with the keyboard under the staff, and The Professor listens while you play.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

The short version of everything people ask before they sit down at the keys.

Is PianoMode really free?

Yes. Every score in the library, every article in the Journal, the games, the Concert Hall and the whole Virtual Piano Studio, recording and export included, are free to use with no account. The first lesson of every level is free too. A membership adds the rest of the guided path: every other lesson, the graded mock exams, and the highest daily limits with The Professor. As PianoMode grows, some advanced features may become part of a subscription; the basics stay free.

Do I need a piano or a MIDI keyboard?

No. Everything works with your mouse, trackpad or touch screen. If you do plug in a MIDI keyboard, the sight-reading trainer, the games, the Concert Hall and the Studio all recognize it instantly.

Try the Concert Hall
How is the learning path structured?

Five levels, from Beginner to Expert, each split into short modules and bite-size lessons with interactive exercises and quizzes. The first lesson of every level is free, so you can feel the method before committing.

See the whole path
Can I download the sheet music?

Yes, free and with no account. Where a score page carries a PDF, it is print-ready and one click away, and the built-in player highlights every note in time so you can learn the piece straight from the screen.

What exactly is a Playbook?
