Tap The Tone

Enter notes directly on the staff, hear and see them instantly, and discover note and chord names. Upgrade to Pro to capture your own ideas and build MIDI projects.

Music is easiest to understand when you can both hear and see it.

With Tap The Tone, you place notes directly on the staff and instantly hear and see the result. At the same time, the app displays the note name or identifies the chord you've created. Instead of simply learning to read music, you'll understand how melodies and harmonies are built.

Whether you're practicing for choir, learning sight-singing, teaching music, or simply curious about how a piece of sheet music sounds, Tap The Tone makes music visible, audible, and easy to understand.

What started as a simple practice tool has grown into a creative music workspace. Today, Tap The Tone also lets you capture your own musical ideas, create arrangements, and export them as MIDI to your favorite DAW.
