Pick a grade and get a fresh sight-reading excerpt every time — real notation, audio playback, and a printable PDF. Built for AMEB Piano exam preparation.
Every click generates a new excerpt at the grade level you choose — never the same one twice, so students can't just memorise an answer.
Each excerpt renders as real notation with a working audio playback, so students can check their reading against how it should sound.
Download a clean PDF of the excerpt for offline practice, handing to a student, or printing a stack ahead of a lesson.
Excerpts are generated for every AMEB Piano grade from Preliminary through Grade 8, matched to the technical difficulty a student at that level is expected to read at sight.
Yes — it's free to use, with no login or account required. Generate as many excerpts as you like.
Excerpts are written to reflect the general difficulty and style a student is expected to sight-read at each AMEB grade — they're for practice, not official AMEB exam material.
The generator runs on its own server, which can take a few extra seconds to wake up if it's been idle. A loading screen will show progress and take you straight to your excerpt once it's ready.
The generator is built specifically around the AMEB syllabus's grading, but the reading practice itself is useful regardless of which board a student is preparing for.
