Transform your keyboard practice into an interactive rhythm game

Learning to play an instrument shouldn't feel like a chore. Playsheet is an innovative, browser-based educational tool that gamifies traditional notation. By merging standard score-reading with interactive rhythm game mechanics, it provides a highly engaging way to hone your keyboard skills right from your web browser

How it Works

Built to run seamlessly in Chrome, the application lets users upload their own sheet files and plug in a standard MIDI keyboard. You'll receive real-time timing feedback as you play along with the notation. Tackle difficult pieces and learn more effectively by visualizing all your keystrokes as you go!

Review and Learn

Beyond the interactive gameplay, the app excels as a self-study tool. You can deeply customize your uploaded compositions by adding note name annotations, or transposing the entire piece into a more comfortable scale. You can even overlay chords to analyze the harmonic structure of the piece.

Once your session is over, the performance review feature pinpoints specific measures where you struggled, enabling targeted, efficient practice. The application records your keystrokes and compares them directly against the original score to show you exactly how well you performed.
