Motif Studio lets the training lights fade
A piano-learning app starts with lit keys and finger numbers, then gradually removes those prompts as learners move toward reading sheet music.

- For
- Beginning piano learners using a screen or MIDI keyboard
- Worth noticing
- A section counts as learned only at full tempo; lit keys and finger numbers are meant to fade as they become less necessary.
Field notes
The described lesson loop pauses on each note until it is played, then increases tempo in steps; a passage counts as learned only at full speed. The page also describes fresh, non-repeating sight-reading exercises, rhythm practice without a keyboard, and a band mode that accepts pasted chord progressions and lets players choose chord inversions. It names MIDI-file import, but the supplied excerpt cuts off before explaining that workflow.
