Today's sight-reading challenge

Everyone gets the same notes today. Treble and bass clef keep switching, and each level gives you less time per note. One wrong note ends the run.

    Why Dottino

    Ordinary practice

    One minute a day. The professional habit hides inside a simple game.

    Skills, not songs

    Each exercise trains one ability behind playing: reading, pulse, listening.

    Clefs that move

    Real music switches clefs and adds ledger lines. So does this.
