What is Hanon AI — a sheet music scanner built for piano
Hanon AI is GrandScore's sheet music recognition AI. It reads the notes in a photo of printed piano sheet music and turns them into a score you can play and practice.
How it works — three steps
All you need is a photo of the score.
- Photograph — take a photo of printed piano sheet music and upload it. PNG and JPEG are supported.
- Review — Hanon AI reads the page and shows the result as real sheet music. Nothing counts against your quota until you register it.
- Play — register the score and practice with everything GrandScore offers: visual notation, slow tempo, and MIDI.
No app install — it runs in your browser
Hanon AI is a web app. On iPhone, iPad, or a computer, just open piano.grand-score.com/ai in your browser. There is nothing to download from the App Store or Google Play.
It doesn't stop at playback — it becomes your practice app
Most sheet music scanner apps play the score back and stop there. In GrandScore, the score you scanned becomes something you practice with:
- Visual guidance that shows exactly which keys to press, and when
- Slow tempo for careful practice
- One-hand practice — right or left hand alone
- Partial playback to loop the hard measures
- MIDI keyboard connection with real-time feedback
Pricing — your first scan each month is free
Sign in and your first AI score each month is free. With Premium, you can create up to three per month.
Privacy of your uploads
Only you can see the scores you upload. GrandScore never distributes, sells, or publishes them.
Curious how it works? The technology is called OMR
The technology that reads sheet music from an image is called OMR — Optical Music Recognition. We explain how it differs from text OCR and how the pipeline works in a separate article.
