iPhone Giveaway of the Day - Secondo: Sight-Reading Duet

Secondo is a sight-reading partner, not a teacher and not a game.

Pick a level. Secondo deals you a piece you have not played before, at or just below that level. You read and play one hand; Secondo plays the other one on a real piano sample. It follows you: when you stop, it stops. When you fall behind, it repeats the bar. Nothing runs away from you, and there is nothing to fail.

NO MARKING
There is no score, no red notes, no accuracy percentage and no result screen. Reading music is the skill; being marked while you read is what makes people stop. What you hear is the only feedback — the same feedback a real partner gives you.

REAL MUSIC, NOT EXERCISES
Hundreds of complete pieces from the public-domain PDMX archive of MuseScore transcriptions: hymn tunes, folk tunes, dances and classical works, each one usable by one player and one accompaniment. Every piece is engraved with real notation — key signatures, rests, ties, ledger lines and accidentals — not a scrolling bar chart.

THREE LEVELS
Gentle: single notes inside the staff. Steady: more movement, wider range. Full: dense music with chords and ledger lines. Difficulty is measured from the hand you have to read, not from how busy the accompaniment is.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
Waits — the accompaniment only moves when you play.
Follows — it keeps the pulse and repeats the bar if you fall behind.
Steady — a fixed tempo, for when you want the clock to push you.

YOUR HANDS, YOUR CHOICE
Read the treble staff and let Secondo take the bass, or the other way round.

LOCAL, OFFLINE, PRIVATE
No account, no sign-in, no network, no analytics, no advertising. The microphone exists for one thing: noticing when you start a note, so the accompaniment knows whether to keep going or wait. Audio is analysed on the device and discarded — never recorded, never stored, never uploaded.
