Bass Sight Reading Trainer

Sight-reading skills open the door to reading written music and familiarizing yourself with various music styles. Sight-reading is not a daunting task, and with sufficient practice, anyone can develop this valuable skill.

Our app is designed to help you quickly identify notes across every part of the fretboard, with a special focus on positional playing.

By enhancing your sight-reading abilities, you'll find it easier to focus on other musical aspects like harmony and rhythm.

Features:

PRACTICE & TEST MODE

- Four different modes of use:
1. Locate notes on the fretboard based on the notes in staff.
2. Locate notes on the fretboard based on note name and pitch.
3. Find the names of notes on the staff (without the fretboard)
4. Identify the names of notes presented on the fretboard.

- Automatic detection of problematic notes.


KEY SIGNATURES & SCALES

- Key signature support, from 1 to 6 sharps or 1 to 6 flats.
