TunyStones Piano - read music

TunyStones Piano – read music is an educational, science-based app to learn and teach reading music in a creative and fun way. Play, compose, practice & enjoy! Developed by piano educators for piano educators and their students. It works with any piano or keyboard and turns piano practice into an engaging game. The app supports teachers and motivates pupils, teaches from scratch with no prior knowledge required, and automatically adapts to different learning styles and speeds. Features include reading and notation introduction levels, melodies from Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and popular tunes, plus music-reading exercises, 126 levels, and the ability to create your own levels. You’ll control Tuny—the game’s main character—on screen with your playing, turning the piano into a game controller as you swim rivers, cross rapids, and jump stones. The nonverbal design means learners understand music reading while playing, making progress feel intuitive and fun.

For educators, didactic content includes Cleff Mountain I and II (the Mountain with one peak) and Composition Mountain (the Mountain with multiple peaks), with classic tunes and specially conceived reading exercises. The app provides teacher-friendly materials and a science-based approach developed by Hochschule für Musik FHNW Basel and SwissMusic Lab. It also features 126 levels plus user-created levels, ready-to-use content like Ode to Joy and Frère Jacques, and a tablet-on-piano setup to guide Tuny’s movements.
