Piano-Trainer is a web app which uses the Web MIDI API to train your sheet reading skills. Connect your piano via MIDI to your computer and play the displayed notes. The generated notes won't be typical chords in a typical combination. So, you can't rely on intuition or experience. Instead you must read the correct notes. Learn piano the hard way!

Piano-Trainer is written in CoffeeScript, uses Vex for rendering the sheets and Chartist for rendering the graphs. The tests are executed with Jasmine/Karma on Travis.
Currently, the Web MIDI API has very limited browser support.
Try Chrome (at least version 39) and activate the experimental enable-web-midi
flag (chrome://flags/#enable-web-midi
).
After connecting your MIDI device to your computer, it may be necessary to restart Chrome.
Additionally, make sure that no other software is reading from the device.
Finally: Just visit the GitHub hosted Piano-Trainer.
If you want to run Piano-Trainer locally, checkout the repository and execute npm install and gulp watch within the folder.
