• Controls have names a screen reader can say, and work from the keyboard (tell us where one doesn’t).
• Chord and note names are read as words: “F sharp minor 7”, not a music symbol a screen reader skips.
• In the studio, a Skip to the page link comes first, past the header.
• Text has enough contrast to read, and errors are said in words, not only in red.
• With Reduce Motion on, the home page stays still, and its pictures that play themselves show one moment instead.
• Notes can come from a MIDI keyboard, a piano through the microphone, or your computer’s keys, as well as the keyboard on screen.

• Sheet music and songs’ scores are drawn as pictures: a screen reader hears what they are, not each note on them.
• Some drills and Brent show notes by lighting keys on the keyboard. Drills also say what was right or wrong in words, and Brent’s answers usually name the notes.
• The home page and the sign-in pages were checked against WCAG 2.2 in October 2026. The rest of the studio is being worked through.
