If anyone is looking for a digital tool to practice Piano I have made a FREE website called Piano Gym! https://pianogym.com https://pianogym.com It's flash cards but for Piano, and works with MIDI Piano connected to your computer. We use spaced repetition to schedule the flash cards and all you have to do is show up every day and do your reps! The big goal is to remove friction from learning and allow anyone to make their own content if they want to. I'm hoping in a few weeks to make a show hacker news post, but right now I'm bug fixing and working on getting our curriculum loaded up. Once that's done everything is ready to go! So come check it out if you're looking for a new approach to Piano practice and learning! And if you're really into this idea, we're on Patreon and appreciate any help making the dream come true! https://patreon.com/PianoGym https://patreon.com/PianoGym

Sounds interesting, but the interactive demo for sheet music doesn't work for me in Chrome. There are many CORS errors and then an error in: sheet_music_display_controller.tsx:187 ERROR

  Drats! Like I said, I'm working on bugs and curriculum stuff before I go for a grand reveal. Thank you for the heads up. If you have the time and are interested send an image of your bug or steps to reproduce to support@pianogym.com! Otherwise stay tuned and check it out! I'll make sure to fix this :)

There's also https://sightreading.training/ https://sightreading.training/ which I found helped me a lot to learn how to sight read faster, and it also lets you plug in your piano via MIDI.

Related but far less polished (open source) tool I built that also uses web MIDI: https://benkaiser.github.io/learn-piano/ https://benkaiser.github.io/learn-piano/ Useful for the amatuers among us that can't sight read to save ourselves, but enjoy the falling notes style. You can drop any midi file in and start practicing. It doesn't have many advanced features, but you can change the tempo and set "jump" points to go back to.
