About Note Names: Read Sheet Music
Play the music in front of you. Learn to read it as you go. Note Names writes the letter name on every note of your sheet music, right on the page, like subtitles for music. You play from day one, and the notation sinks in while you do. WHO IT'S FOR • Adults learning piano who know a tune faster than they can read it • Parents sitting with a child at practice who never learned to read music • Anyone coming back to an instrument after years away • Players of violin, viola, cello, trombone and other instruments reading a new part HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap a photo of a page, or open a PDF 2. Every note gets its letter, including sharps and flats from the key signature 3. Put it on the stand and play READS EVERY CLEF Treble, bass, alto and tenor clef, so piano, strings and low brass all get their letters. Accidentals carry through the bar, and key signatures are never forgotten. YOUR KIND OF NAMES C D E, Do Re Mi, or ドレミ. NEW: TROMBONE SLIDE POSITIONS Switch the tags from letters to slide positions 1 to 7, right on your part. WEAN OFF AT YOUR OWN PACE The reliance dial turns the help down as a piece becomes familiar: every letter, then only the tricky notes, then ledger lines, then none. Each piece remembers its own setting. A LIBRARY READY TO PLAY Start with the Verified library: pieces by Bach, Mozart and Chopin, with every note name checked against the original. FIX, MARK UP, PRINT Wrong letter? Fix it with a tap and it stays fixed. Add fingerings with your finger or Apple Pencil. Print or share the page with its letters for the music stand. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, and no internet needed. Your music never leaves your iPhone or iPad. TRY IT FIRST The whole Verified library is free, and so is your first import of your own music. One payment unlocks unlimited imports and trombone slide positions. Printing with letters is free for everyone. No subscription. GOOD TO KNOW Built for printed sheet music. Handwritten scores aren't supported, and a blurry photo or faint scan may need a few letters fixed. For iPhone and iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs.

What’s new
Version 1.7 · Updated October 27, 2026
Trumpet valve fingerings: switch the tags from letters to valve fingerings for B-flat trumpet, right on your sheet music. Open a trumpet part and tap the suggestion, or choose it in the Letters drawer. Comes with the unlock. Scanned a page into a PDF? Note Names now spots photos and scans inside PDFs and reads them with its photo reader, so you get far more notes. If a page still comes back with only a few notes, you can read it again as a photo with one tap. New free metronome: tap in the tempo, pick the beats per bar, and play along on any piece.
