Music theory that sticks.

I / Track Your Progress

Turn repetition into visible progress.

The Achievement Grid fills when a scale is played cleanly in a specific key. Nail the run, and the cell fills with golden liquid. Complete it properly, and the orb goes gold too. Practice stops feeling vague and starts looking rewarding.

• Golden cells mark clean completion
• The golden orb confirms a properly finished run
• Remove uncertainty: the system tells you when you are right or wrong
• A satisfying completion loop encourages repeat practice and builds confidence
• Discipline becomes ingrained

ii / Explore Scale Families

A massive scale world, still under control.

Move through major, minor, modal, pentatonic, blues, bebop, and exotic scale families without losing your bearings. Sticky Keys keeps scale, key, color, and function tied together, so exploring has never been easier.

• Explore a huge range of scales visually
• Preview exact scales directly in key
• Compare families and tonal colors fast
• Unlock 50 scales in every key, from classical to exotic
• Build scale mastery across all keys and explore beyond your comfort zone

iii / Move the Tonic Root

Drag the circle. Shift the whole harmonic center.

Key change stops feeling like a menu choice and starts feeling physical. Move the tonic root directly with the slider and watch the system re-center, showing the correct scale display. Feel harmonic movement as an actual shift in real time.

• Move the tonic root with the slider
• Re-center the circle of fifths and see the correct scale diagram
• Transposition and harmonic movement feel immediate
• Play the scale and the circle of fifths aligns automatically

Notes attract. Patterns form. Scales resolve. You start to feel the harmony move instead of reading about it.

IV / Guided Practice

Practice mode, but not boring.

Sticky Keys turns piano learning into a sensory experience. Note-rise mode keeps repetition active and visual, which makes practice more enjoyable and immersive.

• IN/OUT zones for active repetition
• Editable particles for the visual feel
• No guessing, delayed feedback, or abstract explanations
• Understand harmony visually in real time without theory overload
• Load your own MIDI files, slow passages down, and replay them

Learn to feel when you are playing correctly, without stopping to read an explanation.

V / Teaching Mode

Beautiful feedback, turned into real teaching.

Teaching Mode enables a comprehensive music theory learning interface that frees up the teacher's time to focus on teaching and coaching. Guided runs, playback, review, and student tracking live inside one system, making it easier to demonstrate, assign, inspect, and coach with precision.

• Select practice regions for targeted sessions and track progress on a chart
• Playback and graph review for sharper coaching
• Instant visual feedback maps chords, key movement, and suggested corrections
• Real-time harmonic feedback shows chord quality and key alignment instantly
• Reveals when notes fall outside the scale and tracks scale completion over time
• Stores progress per student
• Difficulty, metronome, and time signature can be set

The visuals follow how people actually learn: recognise the pattern, see the reward, finish the run.

vi / Learning Library

2,897 lessons that adapt to you.

A full guided curriculum, not a pile of exercises. Sticky Keys places you at the right level on day one, paces every day around how much you want to practice, and advances only once you've actually mastered a skill: reading, rhythm, technique, and scales, all in one path.

• 2,897 lessons across reading, rhythm, technique, and scales
• Smart Start places you at the right level on day one
• Adaptive daily plan: set your practice load and it paces the rest
• Master-to-advance: skills unlock only once you've truly got them
• A calendar that tracks every day you showed up

vii° / For Teachers & Studios

Run your whole studio from one panel.

Every student's attendance, progress, and practice in one place, sorted so you see who needs attention first. Add class notes, export a CSV, and manage seats from a single studio to a full department. And because it's local-first, your playing and practice recordings never leave your machine. Only attendance check-ins and a daily practice summary (minutes, lessons and scores) sync so your teacher can see them.

• Track attendance, progress, and practice for every student
• Students sorted by who needs attention
• Class notes + one-click CSV export
• Seat-based licensing, from one studio to a department
• Local-first: recordings and what a student plays stay on the student's own machine. Only the class roster, attendance and a daily practice summary sync to your institution account

The studio tools on this page — the roster panel, attendance, class notes, CSV export and seat management — are in the Windows app. The macOS app includes the full Learning Library, teaching mode and student profiles.
