Who it’s for
Anyone who wants to learn to read sheet music, at their own pace. If you play from chord charts, tab or by ear, that experience helps; if you’re just starting, every step is explained. Right now the course covers acoustic and electric guitar, and more instruments will be added over time.
How it works
There are 14 short missions, 8 to 15 minutes each, in five phases: foundations, rhythm, first position, patterns and the whole neck. Every mission has examples you can hear, the instrument’s neck next to the staff and a quiz at the end. The Practice tab has games for daily training.
The method follows what music-reading researchers and teachers recommend: a few anchor notes instead of rote memorizing, reading by shape (intervals, scales, arpeggios), lots of rhythm, aids you turn off over time, and short, spaced practice.
Actually free
The 14 missions and Practice are free, with no sign-up. Your progress is saved only in your browser. Paid expansions (repertoire, more phases) may come later, but the complete reading course stays open.
