Features
Any Song Becomes a Piano Cover
Upload a full band track, a vocal, or a guitar song and get a solo piano version that captures the melody and chords. There does not need to be any piano in the original.
Ready to Play, Hands Already Split
The cover arrives as two staves, melody in the right hand, harmony and bass in the left, so you can sit down and play it rather than just look at it.
Sheet Music, MIDI, and MusicXML
Download a print-ready PDF for the music stand, a MIDI to drop into your DAW, or MusicXML to edit on our site or in MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale, or Dorico.

From Recording to Playable Piano Cover
Sheet Music
Our AI technology picks out the notes from your audio and intelligently notates them on a musical staff, automatically detecting a wide range of musical features including time and key signature, trills, staccato, and other expressive markings.
Sheet music is especially valuable for classically trained musicians, music students, music teachers, and composers.
Playback the score to hear the transcription.
Speed it up or slow it down to your liking.
Edit the transcription.
Piano Roll
Our interactive piano roll displays each note as it falls onto the piano keyboard, so you can see exactly what's being played and when.
Great for musicians who may not have a lot of experience reading other notation formats, such as sheet music.
Split the notes into left and right hands.
Control the speed, transposition, colors, and more.
Export as a MIDI file for use in your DAW.

"There are so many songs I've wanted to play but could never find the sheet music for. Songscription finally solves that problem; now I can just run the audio through and start playing."

"I've composed a song that has lived in my heart for years - a deeply personal piece that I've never been able to share properly. Thanks to Songscription, I've finally translated it into sheet music. Now my composition can be performed and appreciated beyond just my own playing - a dream I've had since I first wrote those notes."

Frequently Asked Questions
More questions? Contact us
How do I make a piano cover of a song?
Upload the song's audio or paste a YouTube link, and Songscription writes a solo piano version of it, with the melody in the right hand and harmony and bass in the left. You get sheet music, MIDI, and an interactive play-along, so you can learn it, fix anything awkward in the built-in editor, and play or record your cover.
Do I need to read sheet music to make a piano cover?
No. Alongside the notation, every cover comes with an interactive piano roll that shows exactly which keys to play and when, like a falling-notes video. You can slow it down and learn one hand at a time, so you can play the cover even if you do not read music.
Can I make a piano cover of a song that has no piano in it?
Yes. Piano cover mode rewrites any song for solo piano, so a guitar track, a vocal, or a full band recording all work. It captures the tune and the chord progression and lays them out as a single playable piano part.
What if the piano cover is too hard to play?
Simplify it in one click. If your cover comes out more advanced than you are ready for, Songscription can instantly generate an easier version of the same piece: the melody and chord progression stay intact, but tricky passages are thinned out so you can actually play it. Switch back to the full version any time.
Is Songscription free to use?
Yes. You can transcribe unlimited 30-second clips for free, with a free trial for longer ones. Paid plans give you more transcription time and support for longer files.
