About Singing
This is the full sight-reading skill: see a note on the staff, sing it. The reading and the production happen in one motion — what choral singers, instrumentalists, and anyone reading from a chart actually need to do.
The setup
- Treble clef, C major, naturals only.
- Range: middle C (C4) through top-line F (F5).
- Before each prompt, C4 plays as your anchor so you’re reading intervals against a known tonic, not guessing cold absolute pitch.
- Sing in any octave that fits your voice — the app matches the pitch class, not the height.
How to use it
- Tap to start. Grant microphone access if prompted.
- The anchor (C4) plays. When the note appears on the staff, sing it — sustained, on any vowel, in your comfortable octave.
- A sparkline shows the cents-off trace of your sung pitch in real time.
- Within ±30 cents of the target pitch class counts as correct.
What you’re actually drilling
The chain from notation → interval-from-tonic → vocal motor program. Sight-reading the note alone (BetterAtSightReading) trains the visual lookup. Hearing a pitch and singing it back (BetterAtToneReproduction) trains the ear-to-voice link. This drills the full circuit.
Per-note tracking
The Account page surfaces the notes you sing flat or sharp most often, with the median cents-off so you can see whether you’re consistently drifting on a particular scale degree.
