- Timing is judged against the learner’s own beat; the site explicitly excludes fingering, posture, tone, and hand balance from grading.
Field notes
The described session combines a three-minute warm-up, four minutes of unfamiliar sight-reading, and eight minutes on a learner’s current piece. Its library lists 384 public-domain scores across four levels, with simpler arrangements derived from the score. The homepage also says users can import MusicXML or MIDI, while noting that a keyboard signal cannot reveal posture, fingering, tone, or hand balance.
