For band and orchestra directors
Sight-reading your whole program can practise, and nobody can memorize.
Sight Reading Pro generates a new, musically-real exercise every time a student asks for one, graded on a six-level ladder and written for their instrument. Students get free daily practice. Directors and music teachers get Pro free.

What your students get
A daily warm-up that never runs out, free.
Anyone can read three exercises with no account at all. A free account, which takes a Google sign-in or an email and password, gives each student five new exercises a day: enough for a daily sight-reading warm-up through the whole school year without ever seeing the same exercise twice. Students who want more can go Pro for $36 a year, but nothing in a classroom routine requires it.
Because every exercise is generated on the spot, there is no answer key to pass around and no book for a section to learn by ear. When a student plays it well, they read it.
In the rehearsal room
Built for how a program actually teaches reading.
Drill the concert keys you are teaching
Pick any set of the thirty keys, say concert B♭, E♭, and F, and the generator rotates fresh exercises through just those. Every time signature is available at every level.
Everyone reads the same exercise
Every exercise has a link. Copy it into Google Classroom or onto the board and the whole section opens the identical exercise, on any device, then reads it together.
Warm-up packets in one click
The packet builder generates a whole batch at the right level and instrument and prints them as one PDF — a different sheet every week, no photocopier archaeology.
Thirteen instruments, correctly notated
Flute to bassoon, trumpet to French horn, violin to cello, plus voice. Correct clefs, comfortable written ranges per level, and transposing instruments written the way their players read them.
Six levels, one ladder
Levels widen the way graded syllabi do: rhythm vocabulary, range, keys, meters, and expression grow together. A beginner and a senior can practise side by side at their own level.
Audition-style timed reading
Timed mode counts the student in with a metronome and hides each measure after they pass it, so eyes have to stay ahead of the beat.
Hear it, then read it
Play any exercise back on a sampled instrument or with a metronome only, at any tempo. Useful for modelling, and for students practising alone.
Common questions
What directors ask us.
Does it run on school Chromebooks and phones?
Yes. It is a website, not an app to install, and works in any current browser. The score scales to the screen, so a phone shows two measures per line and a laptop shows four.
Do students need accounts?
Not for the first three exercises. After that, a free account is needed for the five a day. Sign-in is by Google or an email and password, with no confirmation email to hunt for in a spam folder.
How is this different from a sight-reading book or a fixed exercise bank?
A book, and any finite bank of exercises, becomes a memory test after a few passes. Sight Reading Pro writes each exercise when it is asked for, from rules about phrase shape, cadence, and level-appropriate rhythm and range, so the supply never repeats and never runs out.
What does it cost a school?
Nothing is required. Students practise free within the daily allowance, and directors and teachers get Pro free on request. If you want your students unlimited too, a Classroom license is $99 a year for 40 student seats, a Studio license $60 for 12, and a School license $249 for a whole program. You add students by email; purchase orders are welcome.
