About Us
A Global Leaderboard for Musicians
RoadtoVirtuosity is a global leaderboard for musicians. Musicians of all levels — from beginners discovering their first melodies to advanced performers refining their artistry — can showcase their progress and dedication. We invite musicians everywhere to learn piano pieces, record their performances, and submit them for recognition. Each verified performance earns points and raises your rank, allowing you to see exactly where you stand among pianists worldwide.
For the first time, anyone — regardless of background, training, or access to formal education — can participate in a truly global arena of music. Whether you're practicing in a conservatory, studying with a teacher, or learning independently from home, RoadtoVirtuosity gives every pianist the opportunity to measure progress, celebrate milestones, and gain recognition for their hard work.
🎵 About the Founder
My name is Michael Kravchuk.
Born in Ukraine and raised in California, I fell in love with the piano at age fourteen. From that moment on, I practiced three to four hours a day, dreaming of one day becoming a famous pianist. I thought I was doing well — until I realized how little I actually knew about the larger world of music. There was no clear way to measure where I stood or what "good" really meant beyond the walls of my own practice room.
Only when I entered college as a piano performance major did I begin to understand what it truly takes to reach the level of a virtuoso — the depth of skill, consistency, and dedication that professional musicians around the world were achieving.
If I had known this earlier, I would have worked harder, practiced smarter, and aimed higher.
That realization became the inspiration for RoadtoVirtuosity.
I wanted to create something I wished had existed when I was younger — a place where any pianist, from anywhere, could see how their progress compares on a global scale.
A place where musicians can be recognized for their talent and dedication, even if they're practicing alone in a room.
A community built on motivation, recognition, and honest growth — where every effort is seen, every achievement matters, and every pianist has the opportunity to rise to the top and be recognized by the world.
RoadtoVirtuosity is my way of giving back to the next generation of pianists — to help them discover, earlier than I did, what it truly means to walk the road to virtuosity.
❓FAQs
1. Is Road to Virtuosity free?
Yes. All public-domain sheet music on Road to Virtuosity is completely free to download, and creating an account is also free.
2. What makes Road to Virtuosity different from other sheet music sites?
Most sheet music sites focus on distribution or community uploads. Road to Virtuosity focuses on quality, structure, and measurement. Every score is carefully edited, paired with recordings, organized by difficulty and precise point values, and integrated into a system that measures real musical progress through repertoire over time.
3. How is the sheet music organized?
All sheet music is organized by difficulty and by a precise, repertoire-based point system. Pieces can also be browsed by composer, genre, style, and other musical characteristics, making the library easy to explore at every level.
4. How is difficulty determined?
Difficulty is determined by the real technical, physical, and musical demands of a piece — not by grades, syllabi, or exam levels. Factors such as coordination, texture, tempo, endurance, control, and musical complexity are taken into account.
5. What are RTV points?
RTV points are not grades, ratings, or practice-time estimates. They represent a repertoire-based skill economy, measuring how much musical infrastructure a pianist must already possess to perform a piece cleanly and at tempo.
6. How do I earn points?
Points are earned by learning pieces, recording your performance, and submitting it for verification. Once approved, the piece is added to your personal repertoire library, and the corresponding points are awarded to your profile.
7. Do I need an account to use Road to Virtuosity?
No account is required to browse the library or download public-domain sheet music. An account is only needed to submit performances, earn points, track progress, appear on leaderboards, and receive certificates on your personal profile page.
8. Is Road to Virtuosity a competition?
No. Road to Virtuosity is not a competition. Rankings and leaderboards simply reflect completed repertoire and accumulated points. They exist to provide context, motivation, and transparency — not to judge talent or declare winners.
9. Does Road to Virtuosity offer certificates?
Yes. Road to Virtuosity offers its own certificate program based on completed repertoire and verified performances. The program also includes a Certificate of Virtuosity, which is among the most difficult certificates to earn in the world and represents sustained mastery of demanding repertoire.
10. Who created Road to Virtuosity?
Road to Virtuosity was created by a group of internationally respected performers and teachers. Although the platform was founded in 2024, it is growing rapidly as more musicians, educators, and institutions adopt its repertoire-based approach.
11. What about copyrighted sheet music?
If a piece is copyrighted, the sheet music will not be available for download on the site. When possible, Road to Virtuosity may provide links to authorized sources where the music can be legally purchased.
12. Can I earn points for copyrighted music?
Yes. You can earn points for copyrighted music as long as your performance is verified by an RTV teacher. Sheet music purchased from other platforms or publishers is fully acceptable to use on Road to Virtuosity
