Rhythm Sight Reading Trainer

I love this app. I suggest it for all my piano students. I use it to practice rhythms for myself too. I love that you can use challenge mode to increase tempos. Just one suggestion. Make the tapping pad a little bigger. Sometimes I’d like to use two fingers, and it’s almost impossible because of the size if the pad.

Experienced musicians can see a rhythmically complex piece of music and just tap it out without much trouble before playing it. Me? I’m not in that group. I need to go over a piece many times before I can play it. I reduce the time I need between first seeing the music and finally playing the notes by practicing with Read Rhythm. I enter the notes into the editor and practice until the rhythm is familiar to me. I have a habit of being a little ahead of the beat in my playing, and can work on that in the app, since it tells you if you are ahead, on, or behind the beat. When I’m done working on a section, I email the results to my music teacher, so we can go over it in lesson. In all, this is a great app for perfecting your rhythm, either through random exercises or by creating your own. I should also add that I had a question at one point about the editor, and the developer answered me very promptly to tell me what I was doing wrong. Not many apps have that kind of service, and I was very glad for the help.

I love this app. I play it everyday

Just take my word for it and purchase the app. I'm constantly finding new features that I didn't even know I wanted.

Improves your accuracy Its not easy and you don't want that anyway . You can make adjustments to see and hear downbeat, accented beat, all beats, metronome only in other words about everything Additionally :superlative service. I got lost in the weeds and Rolf stayed with it until I was sure I got it. No developer, in my experience, is this responsive and patient with a old guy. Go get it if you want to know if your skills aren't quite what you thought, or just drill 'till you drop. Thanks Rolf

This thing is the latest miracle in my life. Never progressed far enough in my formal training to get good at reading, always felt like math class. Suddenly I’m in a JC concert band and in deep trouble. This is going to save me. The ability to edit your own rhythms allows to create those 2 measures that eluding you and repeat them until you hear them in your dreams. Thanks so much to developers of this amazing tool!

I played snare drum all through middle and high school. And that was *cough* years ago and I was good at reading music again but this app has helped me learn a lot of it all over again especially the notes that were always tricky. I like how there are multiple levels and modifications.

I started reading music in my 50s, and rhythm was my biggest struggle. Here are some reasons for my 5-star review: 1. Intuitive interface: Easy to figure out, even if you’re a techno-dumdum. 2. Customizable: You can practice what you want and hear sounds you find pleasant. 3. Reinforcing: Easily understood color feedback and small (not irritatingly long) celebration for accuracy. 4. One-time purchase! (Not a bleed you to death subscription.) Thanks for making this great app!

The MIDI support is unreliable and the user interface borders on unusable.

This is a really good app, it helps u with rhythm and beat and it’s great practice for when u are away from the piano
