🎼 Scan your sheet music and start practicing
Use the sheet music scanner to scan printed pages, old music, or practice material. You can also import a file. Halbestunde reads the music and turns your sheet music into an interactive player, so you can listen to the score instead of guessing how it should sound.

This sheet music reader is made for musicians who want to practice smarter. Slow down difficult parts, loop a section, change the tempo, transpose the key, and repeat the music until it feels right. It helps you learn to read sheet music through playback, without replacing your teacher, your instrument, or your own practice.

🔎 Read, play, and repeat
The sheet music scanner recognizes notes, rhythm, and all music symbols from staccato to forte. Use the viewer to check the scanned score, then play it back inside the app. You can practice one part at a time, listen before you play, and use the music as a reference while working on the piece.

Halbestunde can also scan lyrics, which makes vocal music easier to practice. Choose Voice as the playback sound when needed, or select another instrument from the app.

🎹 Instruments
Practice with Bass, Cello, Clarinet, Clean Guitar, Electric Bass, Electric Piano, Flute, French Horn, Guitar, Oboe, Piano, Sax Baritone, Sax Soprano, Tenor Sax, Trombone, Trumpet, Tuba, Ukulele, Viola, Violin, and Voice.

📤 Export your music
After scanning, export your work as MIDI, MusicXML, or PDF. Use MIDI for playback, export MusicXML to Flat.io, Dorico, or MuseScore, and save PDF for printing, sharing, or rehearsal. You can create useful practice material from sheet music you already have and continue working with it outside the app.

🎶 Built for daily practice
Use the sheet music scanner before a lesson, rehearsal, choir session, or solo practice. It can help beginners learn to read sheet music by connecting written notes with sound. It also helps experienced musicians check a melody, test a key change, or prepare a part faster.

If a key has too many flats, transpose the piece into a key that is easier for you to practice. Use the viewer to review your score, then use the player to hear it again at your own speed.

Whether you play piano, strings, brass, woodwinds, guitar, ukulele, or sing with lyrics, Sheet music reader Halbestunde gives you a practical way to scan, listen, and practice.

Start with Halbestunde and turn your sheet music into playable practice material you can hear, adjust, repeat, and export.

Ratings and reviews

I got this app specifically to use it for scanning my sheet music so I could better understand how to play it for a passoff. In short, the app had issues correctly copying the sheet music after multiple attempts . I'd erased my counts on it, i tried fixing the lighting and positioning of the paper and etc. After trying all three types of music scanning, the app offers, and the two attempts each it gives you before you have to pay . And It still didn't work.😥

I used the free version. It was okay, but too limited. Take the picture of one page of the music sheet and that's it. Your privilege to try another page, let alone other song, it's over. Pay for premium if you want more. The scanned music is transformed into a new digital format, I didn't see the actual music sheet with the words, only music notes. I found another app and uninstalled this one.

i found this app very helpful at first, i used it to upload pdf sheet, but after the last update, i coldn't upload anymore, no free trial, even the subscription button could not be pressed.. So sad, please fix this.. :(
