Piano note trainer

This trainer names a note and waits for you to find it on the keyboard. It is the fastest way to stop counting up from middle C every time. Choose white keys only to begin with, then add the black keys once the white ones are automatic. Your best run is kept in your own browser.

Press start, then click the key it names.

Questions

Common questions

How is this different from the sight reading trainer?

This one gives you a note name and asks you to find the key. The sight reading trainer shows a note on the stave instead, which is the harder and more useful skill.

How long should I use it for?

Five to ten minutes a day. Short and frequent beats long and occasional for this kind of recall.

Does it work with a MIDI keyboard?

Yes, and it is more satisfying that way, because you are using the real instrument.
