Why does it work?
The eye sees, the hand plays.
The sharps and flats are already inside the notes themselves. The note shows where the black key is, and your hand goes to it naturally.
The result: fewer mistakes, no playing the same line over and over, and real music from the very first reading.
No drills. Just playing!

FAQ
I haven't played in years. Is this for me?
Yes. If you ever learned to read music in piano lessons, even a little, you'll soon read iCanPiano scores with ease. And if you subscribe, you also get ten lessons that help you get back to playing.
Am I stuck with this notation?
No. It's exactly the same notes, only the sharps and flats are marked inside the note itself. Switching between the two systems is very easy: the first time feels a bit strange, and after a try or two you get used to it. And in the player you can switch to standard notation at any moment, even in the middle of a piece.
How do I get access to the pieces?
You can buy each piece separately, or subscribe for $14.99 a month to open every piece in the library. And when you sign up for free, you get three full pieces as a gift.
Can I print the pieces and play from the page?
Yes, in iCanPiano notation. Standard notation is available for viewing in the player.
Is it only classical music, or light music too?
For now all the pieces are classical. The goal is to get back to playing, improve your technique and enjoy pieces by the great composers.
