About this site

Sight Reading Tips is a free guide to reading music at sight, mainly for piano: a practice plan, exercises and explanations of note reading, rhythm and key signatures.

A new site at an old address

This site launched in October 2026. Before that, this domain name was used by a business that sold a piano sight-reading course (PDFs, CDs and DVDs). We are not connected with that business or its owners, we do not sell those products and we cannot help with orders, downloads or refunds for them. Directory listings with an old phone number or address for this domain are out of date.

How the content is written

All pages are written from scratch for this site, based on standard music-theory facts and common teaching practice. Exam formats change, so check your exam board's current syllabus for specifics.

Disclosure

The team that runs this site also makes Clef, an iPhone and iPad app for note-reading drills. It is mentioned on a few relevant pages and always labelled. Nothing here requires it. The site has no ads and no affiliate links.
