Sightread

Sightread is a free and open-source webapp for learning to play Piano. Sightread is great for beginners – you can play songs without needing to learn sheet music. Sightread creates an intuitive Falling Notes visualization of a song, similar to rhythm games like Guitar Hero.

For those who want to learn sheet music, Sightread offers Sheet Hero (beta) mode. Sheet Hero is a halfway point between the simplicity of falling notes and the full complexity of sheet music. Notes are laid out on a musical staff, but timing is simplified. Sheet Hero represents the duration of notes with a tail instead of beat denominations. Key signatures are also optional in this mode. Sightread will by default display a song in it’s original key, but you may change the key to any that you prefer.
