For piano parents
Hear how your child's piano homework should sound
Can't read music? Take a photo of the page your child's teacher assigned. GrandScore plays it back so you both know what it should sound like.
Sign in with Google or Apple, then upload the photo.
Between lessons, a child often forgets how the new piece goes, and a parent who doesn't read music can't check. Recording the teacher on your phone helps, until the next page. GrandScore plays the page on your music stand, from a photo.
How it works
- Take a photo of the assigned page — Printed sheet music or a page from the lesson book. Several pages are fine.
- Listen to the piece — Hanon AI turns the photo into a score you can play back, so you hear its notes and rhythm.
- Follow along together — In Movie, the music moves with the sound, each note shows its name (C, D, E…) as it plays, and the key lights up on the keyboard.
See which note is playing
You don't need to read the staff. Watch the lit-up note and its letter name, and compare it with what your child plays.
What a non-musician parent can do
- Listen to the piece together before practice starts.
- Check that the rhythm sounds like the playback.
- Replay the piece and listen for the parts that sound different.
A new page every week
When the teacher assigns the next piece, snap it the same way. Your child's homework pieces stay in one place, private to your account, on a computer, tablet, iPhone or iPad.

Do I need to read music?
No. GrandScore plays the page back and shows each note's letter name (C, D, E…) as it sounds, with the key lit up on the keyboard.
Does it work with lesson books and handouts?
It works from a photo of printed piano sheet music, including pages from lesson books and handouts. Repeat signs, tempo markings and scores with three or more staves are not read yet.
Is it free?
After you sign in, one score from a photo each month is free, and you can play it back. In Movie, the first four bars are free. Premium adds more photo scores each month, a slower tempo, starting from any bar, one-hand practice, and moving through the whole piece in Movie.
Do I need an account?
Yes. You sign in with Google or Apple before uploading. The scores you upload are visible only to you.
Can my child use it too?
Yes. Open it on a computer, tablet, iPhone or iPad and set it on the music stand. If you have a digital piano, you can connect it on a computer or in the iPhone/iPad app to check the notes your child plays.
