Sight Reading Practice

What you’ll be reading

Twenty questions, and each one is a drawn staff with a single note on it. Both treble and bass appear, with the clef named in the question text rather than drawn, so the staff stays clean and the note is the only thing to decode. One note at a time is the whole design: sight reading falls apart when a page throws too much at you at once, and naming single positions without hesitation is the skill everything else stacks on.

There is no audio on this page. Ear training is deliberately absent from the site because it deserves real sound, and reading is a separate skill worth drilling on its own terms.

How the staves were made

Nothing here is a photograph or a scan. Every staff is rendered from pure geometry — the lines, the note, the spacing all drawn by the page itself. Before any question was generated, every drawn position was decoded and verified against theory by an independent review: 59 items checked, zero disputes. When a note sits on a line, it sits on that line exactly, which is the least a reading drill owes you.

Playing through

Four options per question. Answer and the page tells you right or wrong immediately, with the correct answer shown — for sight reading practice that timing matters more than in most topics, because you want the correction while the staff is still in front of your eyes. At the end, a full review walks back through all twenty questions. Your best score is saved in your browser between visits, there is no signup, and nothing to install.
