Piano practice, one note at a time

Watch the notes fall. Play them. Grow a little every day.

NoteHop turns sheet music into a gentle waterfall of notes that land right on the keys. It waits while you learn, celebrates when you land the timing, and shows exactly which bars need more care.

Works in Chrome and Edge with a USB or Bluetooth MIDI keyboard. No keyboard yet? Watch a demo first.

🎹

Waterfall highway

Notes fall straight onto the keys they belong to, coloured by hand: gold for right, olive for left.

⏳

Wait-for-Me mode

The music pauses until you find the right notes, so you learn the shapes before you chase the tempo.

🎯

Timing you can see

Every note is judged Perfect, Great or Good, down to the millisecond, with a splash of light when you land it.

🖐️

Finger guides

The finger to use (1 to 5) is printed on each note and on the key itself.

🔁

One-tap section loops

Tap Intro, Verse, Build-up or Climax under the keyboard to drill just that part.

🎼

Harmony view

See the chord and its Roman numeral for every bar, so you understand what you're playing.

⚡

Speed control

Practice from 50% to 100% tempo and nudge it up as you get comfortable.

How it works

From plugged in to playing in a minute

Connect your keyboard

Plug a MIDI keyboard into USB, or pair it over Bluetooth, then open NoteHop in Chrome or Edge. The status pill turns green when it's connected.

Pick a song and a mode

Choose a song from the library, pick Waterfall or Harmony, choose your hands and tempo, and turn on Wait-for-Me for your first tries.

Play, review, repeat

Play along as the notes land. Your results show which bars were tricky, so you can loop just those until they're smooth.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need a MIDI keyboard?

For the full experience, yes: any keyboard with USB-MIDI or Bluetooth MIDI works. Without one, open a song and choose "Watch a demo first" to see how it plays.

Which browsers work?

Chrome and Edge on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Android support MIDI keyboards in the browser. Safari and Firefox can open the app, but they can't read a MIDI keyboard yet.

Can I use an acoustic piano?

Listening through the microphone is on the way. For now, NoteHop needs a digital keyboard with MIDI.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?

Yes. Start with Ode to Joy at 60% tempo with Wait-for-Me on and finger guides showing. Turn the help off as you grow.

Is my progress saved?

Yes. Sign in with Google and your section mastery, streak, XP and results are saved to your account and follow you across devices. Without an account, progress stays in this browser.
