The kids who stick with it are the ones who feel like they get it.
Practice goes from hard to fun when they know what their music is supposed to sound like. Chord Quest reads their sheet music, then plays their exact part from any piece of music. No musical knowledge required from parents.

What parents need to know.
Simple answers to help you feel confident supporting your child's practice.
How much does it cost?
The app is free to download with a 7-day free trial. After that, an individual subscription is $4.99/month, or a family plan covers up to 10 family members for $8.00/month. Your child's teacher uses Chord Quest free.
What devices does it work on?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later. An Android version is planned.
Does it work with any sheet music?
Chord Quest reads photos, PDFs, and images of sheet music, and is optimized for clean, clear beginner-level scores across piano, voice, strings, and more. It does not support handwritten notation.
Can my child isolate just their part?
Yes. They can mute and hear different staves independently — perfect for focusing on exactly what they need to practice.
Does my child need an account?
Yes, a simple sign-up and profile creation is required in order to use the platform and take advantage of your free, 7-day trial!
Is this a replacement for lessons?
No. Chord Quest helps students practice between lessons. It makes their teacher's instruction more effective — not less necessary.
What if the playback sounds wrong?
It may be a recognition issue. Try uploading the score again or using a clearer photo. Accuracy continues to improve with every update.
Confidence is the goal–yours and theirs.
Research shows that retention improves when kids can hear their music before they practice it. Chord Quest builds more confident students and empowers parents to support their musical journey.
