A note appears on the staff. Hear the key's tonic if you need it, then sing the note. Hold it in tune for half a second and the next one appears. Any octave counts, so low and high voices can both use it.
Uses your microphone. The sound is analysed in your browser and never recorded or sent anywhere. Headphones help if you also play reference notes.
1. Pick a key and press Start; the tonic plays so you can hear “do”. 2. Look at the note, find it in your head from the tonic, and sing it on “la” or its name. 3. The bar under the staff shows how close you are; hold the note in the green zone and it turns green and moves on. Use “Play the note” only after you have tried — it is counted as a hint.
Melodic steps moves by small intervals the way real melodies do and is the best place to start; Any degree jumps anywhere in the octave and is harder.
Sight-singing (solfège) trains you to hear a written note before you produce it — the skill behind reading new music, singing in a choir and writing down melodies. Conservatoire entrance exams test it directly. Checking your pitch against a detector keeps practice honest when no teacher is in the room.
Turkish solfège uses fixed names (Do is always C); with “Show note names” on, the trainer prints the fixed name and the scale degree in brackets. Pair it with Sight Reading for reading speed and Dictation for the reverse skill.
I have a low voice. Do I have to sing in the written octave?
No. Any octave of the note is accepted, so basses and baritones can sing an octave lower
than written.
How accurate do I need to be?
Within 35 cents — about a third of a semitone — for half a second. That is generous enough
for a beginner and strict enough to catch a wrong note.
Why does it ignore me right after it plays a note?
So it does not mark the speaker's sound as your singing. Wait a moment, or use headphones.
