A month and a half ago I reviewed an app called SightReadPlus. In my review I mentioned a couple apps in the works, including one called SightReadMinor. Well the good news, SightReadMinor is now available!
Keeping with the same format as SightReadPlus, SightReadMinor will listen and evaluate your playing.
In SightReadMinor, you will find 2,880 short sight-reading exercises in ALL minor keys for left and and right hand. (separate) Time signatures vary between 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8 with rhythm values ranging from quarter, dotted quarter, half, dotted half, whole and eighth notes. The exercises are in sequenced order so students will advance forward. Also included are pentascales for students to practice.
One of my favorite features with both of these apps is the ability to keep track of individual progress. If you missed the SightReadPlus review be sure to go back and read it as SightReadMinor is very similar but now with minor exercises. Both apps are for the iPad and are highly recommended.

Sounds interesting. Which of the 2 Apps do you think you will use more often?
These both sound like great apps….I would love to try them♥♥
Thanks for a chance to win – it sounds like a great app!
Awesome app!! Would love to try. Is it for iPad only?
It is for the iPad only. If you don’t have an iPad yet but think you will eventually then you can still download it on you iTunes account and sync it to your iPad later. 😉
I was intrigued by your review of the major version of this app, and now along comes the minor version. I am definitely thinking of trying one or both of these. Would love to win a free copy!
Always looking for new apps for DVMTA and for my studio!
I would love to use this app with my students. Thanks fn or offering it!
Love that they offer the app in minor too! Students love the sound of minor key songs.
I recently purchased an ipad and am looking for apps to use in my piano studio. I like these sight reading apps. Would appreciate winning a free copy!
Great app! Looking forward to trying the Minor keys as well
I’d love a copy
I can’t wait to check this out. I teach in just a couple minutes so I will look at it later today. Sounds exciting!
Would love to win a copy!
This looks like a great app, as does SightReadPlus – thanks for having this giveaway!
I love SightReadPlus. Would love to win the minor version. Thanks for your blog and the giveaways!
Sight Reading is probably one of the most important skills our young pianists can develop. I’m always amazed/intrigued/amused when “wonderful musicians” (usually singers) show up to an event, but have forgotten to bring an accompanist. My sight reading ability always saves their performance. I want my students to have that same gift, and have the same thrill!
I just purchased an IPad 2 weeks ago (finally trying to enter the new technology!), so I would love to win this app ! Thanks for your reviews, Wendy!
Would love to have this app!
I’d love to win this! My plan is to emphasize sight reading more with my students this year, so this would be great.
I use SightReadPlus with every elementary and even intermediate student. Love it…and they like it too. Can’t wait to be a winner of SightReadMinor and add it to my iPad apps. A very, very valuable sight reading teaching tool.
Sounds like a useful app! Thanks for writing a review, Jennifer!
Sounds like a great app.
Would love to have this app!!
Sounds like a great app! I would love to use it in my studio!
I love the first (sight reading in major) app and would love to win the second. Pick me! Pick me!
I would love to have this app.
Consider me entered, Jennifer! No ‘Pad yet, but soon! 🙂
Per your recommendation, I bought the Sight Read Plus and really like it. In fact, I just used it in a lesson a few moments ago. Good stuff!
Would love this app and was telling one of my students about it just today – keeping my fingers crossed!
Sounds like a great app – hope to win!
This would be great to go along with my studio sight reading challenge.
