Read Ahead Piano Sight Reading Reviews

It could be the best

It could have been the best sight reading trainer if it had MIDI capabilities to check if you are playing correctly. Also, it progresses too fast: lessons are supposed to be done daily, but a beginner cannot progress so fast.

What happened?

This version seems to have a lot of bugs, at least on my device. The older one worked much better. I tried to see the instructions on the site but they're for the older version. Please fix it, it's an awesome app!!

Just needs a bit more polish

Wishlist: *ability to choose a 2 bar read ahead length *ability to turn pages with a single tap instead of a swipe *eliminate flicker on graphics changes *contemporary examples *open score exercises (open score SATB or similar)

Idea may be good but app not working

I click to turn on the metronome and .. nothing, total silence (the intro video played just fine). That kind of blows the whole thing… This is on an iPad.

Nice concept, incomplete implementation

The basic idea of Read Ahead is pedagogically good, forcing you to read ahead & develop confidence in hands & keys. But the app could well include feedback on playing accuracy to be more helpful. I have a MIDI keyboard connected and it is entirely feasible for the app to at least tell wrong notes (other apps do) and perhaps even timing. I don’t think meaningful enhancements like this are being done on it any more. EDIT: (to developer response) Thanks for the response. “Learn to hear your own wrong notes” sounds good. But the app (a) won’t record and playback MIDI which is what my piano feeds my iPad, and (b) won’t play the original correct score either. Or did I miss these functions? Hoping to be constructive & that you find some ideas for improvement!

Excellent resource for private and group instruction

This app helps develop one of the most important aspects of sight reading, and does so through engaging and well-selected repertoire. I have used the app in group piano settings and student response has been very positive. I will certainly continue to include it in my teaching, and highly recommend it to anyone trying to develop or improve sight reading skills efficiently.

Just so useful

I had been looking for a long time a way to prevent myself from going back to double check notes while attempting to sight read. This app does the trick for me. I love it!

June 1 2020 release has problems

After updating as required at the end of the open access period, I find the that timing and navigation are off. For example, it seems that there is a fixed time to finish a song and then the app goes to the next page. Sometimes an activities (songs) cannot be finished unless the fastest metronome setting is used so that it can be completed in the time given. Hopefully this can be fixed in a quick bug fix release. I’m sure this is not the intended behavior.

Not bad, but buggy and limited

It’s ok, but full of bugs.

Quietly amazing app.

This app might not look as fancy as many of the other ones on the app store right now, but after downloading ten different sight reading apps and trying them all over the past week, this one is easily my favorite. You can tell this app was made by people actually trying to help others learn music. It's extrmely methodical, and its main "gimmick," erasing the measure you're currently supposed to be playing, is genius, and *forces* you to sight read ahead of where you're playing, whether you want to or not! Fantastic learning tool. My sight reading is improving significantly already. My thanks to the authors. The whole app is currently free until June because of Covid-19, but I'll still be purchasing to support such a helpful learning tool. Being able to sight read is a priceless gift to me!
