Android app to practice sight-reading in all clefs

What it does

Many music students struggle with sight-reading, especially with reading notes fluently and recognizing different clefs. Because of this, I decided to build an Android app designed to help musicians practice note reading in all clefs.

It can be useful as a supplement to solfège classes, both for beginners and more advanced students who want to strengthen their fundamentals.

The learning method is based on landmarks: for each clef one first learns the position of 2-3 landmarks, and then each note is in relation to a landmark. So for example, if you know where the middle G is on the treble clef, then you can learn…

    Hi everyone, my name is Kevin Lin, and this is a Show HN for my sheet music smart glasses project. My video was on the front page on Friday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43876243, but dang said we should do a Show HN as well, so here goes! I’ve wanted to put sheet music into smart glasses for a long time, but the perfect opportunity to execute came in mid-February, when Mentra (YC W25) tweeted about a smart glasses hackathon they were hosting - winners would get to take home a pair. I went, had a blast making a bunch of music-related apps with my teammate, and we won,…
