Explore every exercise
The quick start is our recommendation, but you can begin with any skill.
Tools that support your piano practice
Connect listening with theory using the piano scales library, or strengthen your timing with a flexible metronome. Both work free in your browser.
How ear training and note reading practice work
Build listening skills with guided ear training: practice note identification across all 88 piano keys; interval recognition in ascending, descending, and harmonic modes; chord training covering major, minor, diminished, augmented, seventh, and suspended chords; scale identification from major and minor to modes, pentatonic, blues, and more; and rhythm training with sound and notation.
Build staff fluency in treble and bass clefs with note reading practice. Practice at your own pace in Normal mode, use Speed mode for timed recall, or try Sight Flow, where notes scroll across the staff in real time. Answer with on-screen controls, a piano keyboard, microphone, or MIDI in supported exercises.
Progress tracking and practice tools
Practice results are saved locally on your device. Fortepian tracks recent accuracy and streaks, identifies difficult notes or patterns, and gives them extra weight in future sessions. No account is required.
Use the piano scales library to review notes, piano fingerings, staff notation, diatonic chords where applicable, and playable audio. Keep time with the free online metronome from 40 to 240 BPM, including tap tempo, seven time signatures, and eighth-note, sixteenth-note, and triplet subdivisions.
