#22How's it compare to SightReadingFactory? Can I use it for trumpet?

#23Sight reading is equal parts being quick to parse the score and being quick to understand the piece harmonically/rythmically. This is why random exercises or simple songs don't really cut it. Also, it's all about compromise. When sight reading a serious piece you will almost never be expected or be capable of playing every note. You have to understand what's important and what's feasible, and to do that on the fly yo…
Yes, sight reading is a misnomer because at some level it is almost impossible to sight read a complex piece. It is not like reading a book where you will be able to read the words correctly as long as you're literate. What you can say is that you're familiar with simple/medium complexity rhythms so you can play them as you read.

#24This is incredible because it exactly matches my needs. I started learning the piano 3 years ago as an adult, I love it, but my biggest difficulty is reading scores. I do want to practice but also I'm very lazy, I tried to find a tool to help but never found yours before. Tiny question before I purchase to unlock the microphone feature (which is really what makes sense for me): does the app understands do ré mi via m…
The mic works on the standard 440 tuning and converts the input to its midi representation. Trying to understand your question but the mic doesn't really care about the do, re, me but rather that it's the right frequency for the displayed note on the staff. The mic feature is something I'm actively working on improving as it's decent now but not perfect. If you have an instrument with a way to connect to the phone through midi it's the best experience but if you have acoustic then the mic or just the on screen keyboard is the good.

I know what sight reading factory is but I haven't personally used it. In the app you can isolate the Treble staff for practice/lessons so it would work for practice with what you read on trumpet (I believe)

Do you mind if I ask what library or algorithm you’re using for pitch estimation?

My app appears at the top of a search if you specify sight reading but if you are searching for "learn piano" or similar keywords it will be no where near the top

#28That’s awesome! I’m not a musician but just impressed by an app with great focus that stands the test of time. Makes me wonder why Apple doesn’t have an area for exactly this type of app; the opposite of Latest Apps.

Ha, I thought I could "sing" the notes, like reading them out loud (which is what my mentor suggests me to work on)
