Root Note trains your piano skills: reading notes, playing chords and scales, your ear and the theory behind it all. Short exercises that build on each other, at your own level.

Every part has three levels. Here is how that works for note reading.

Play the piano — and understand it
Root Note helps you play the piano better: you learn to read, play, hear and understand music, and you see how it all comes together. You practise in short, focused sessions and see right away what is going well and what still needs work.
Four skills that belong together
Read: notes, chords and rhythms on the staff. Play: chords and scales, with both hands. Hear: train your ear with intervals. Understand: nine chapters of music theory and an interactive circle of fifths. Every exercise trains more than one skill.
With or without a piano
Connect your digital piano or MIDI keyboard and Root Note hears what you play instantly: you actually play the notes, chords and scales. No piano or keyboard at hand? Then simply answer the questions on your screen, on your phone, tablet or computer.
You can see yourself improve
A short self-test sets each exercise to a level that suits you. My progress shows whether you are ready for the next level, what to practise next and how your reading speed grows. A daily goal you choose yourself helps you keep practising.
Free, and no hassle
Practising is free: no account, no installation, no ads. Root Note works in any modern browser, and offline after your first visit. Your progress stays on your own device. Want to go further? Root Note Pro gives you smart review, building your own exercises and your progress over months. Join the beta and Pro is open to you for as long as the beta lasts, as thanks for your help.
Root Note volgt de richtlijnen voor toegankelijkheid (WCAG 2.2, niveau AA). Je kunt alles met het toetsenbord bedienen, een schermlezer leest vragen, antwoorden en goed of fout voor, tekst is te selecteren en te vergroten, en Licht en Donker hebben voldoende contrast. Met "verminderde beweging" aan op je apparaat staan de animaties stil.
Wat bewust niet kan: noten lezen is een visuele oefening, dus de notenbalk van een vraag wordt niet voorgelezen (dat zou het antwoord verraden). De oefeningen op het gehoor werken wel helemaal met een schermlezer.
