The Flat for Education sight reading generator set to flute, beginner level, C major and 3/4, with a new 8-measure exercise ready.

How the sight reading generator works

Three steps from a blank page to a fresh exercise on every music stand.

  1. Choose your settings

    Pick the instrument or clef, difficulty level, time signature and key signature to match what your students are working on.

  2. Generate

    A new 8-measure exercise appears instantly. Not quite right? Generate again for a fresh one.

  3. Assign or print

    Send it as a performance assignment. Students record themselves playing, and you listen and give feedback. Or print it for class.

Students can practice sight reading on their own

Sight reading practice for students shouldn't stop when the assignment is done. Every student has their own sight reading generator, not only the exercises you assign.

  • Their exercises are saved in their score library, in a "Sight Reading" folder.
  • They can practice anytime, in class or at home.
  • Each new exercise is music they've never seen, so reading skills grow instead of memory.

Hear every student play

In a full rehearsal, it's hard to know who is really reading and who is following the section. With performance assignments, students record themselves playing the exercise inside Flat for Education.

You listen to each recording on your own time and give feedback to every student, so no one hides in the back row.

Comparing sight-reading tools?

Many teachers compare sight reading tools before choosing one. Flat for Education puts the sight reading generator in the same place as your assignments, student recordings, notation editor and worksheets, so you manage fewer accounts and students log in once.
