Your score, your pace, your style

SheetSnap vs Synthesia

Falling notes are just the start. Read an annotated score, practice a difficult phrase and let your loop build speed automatically. Then give the music your own visual style, all in your browser.

Why choose SheetSnap?

SheetSnap connects the written page to the keys and lets you shape the practice session around your piece. Wait Mode and hands-separate practice are part of that workflow too. Set the speed-building rules once, work through the phrase, and explore Style Studio when you want to turn the music into something visual.

Read the page with a little help

Annotated scores put note names beside the notes. Symbol explanations help you connect what is written to what you play.

Let the loop build your speed

Choose your starting speed, target, increment and passes before each increase. Advance after a set number of loops, or after successful MIDI passes at your chosen accuracy threshold. You decide how and when the pace changes.

Work on the part that needs it

Loop a difficult measure range, practice one hand at a time, or use Wait Mode to hold playback until you play the expected notes. Start with the on-screen keyboard or supported MIDI input.
