Can I sing in tune?

Five notes are played, one at a time. Sing each one back. You see how close you landed on each, and hear your notes next to the targets.

Use headphones or turn the sound up. The microphone opens when you tap, listens after each note and closes after the fifth. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.

What this measures, and what it doesn't

It plays a note, listens to you sing it back, and measures how far your note is from the target, in cents. A hundred cents is one semitone. Within about twenty-five cents counts as in tune here: most listeners won't hear the difference, and trained singers drift that much too. It reads pitch only; it doesn't judge your voice.

Sing in whatever octave is comfortable. The notes sit in the middle of most voices, and an octave lower or higher counts as the same note.

Honest about the numbers

This is a phone microphone in a room, not a studio. The reading is good to a few cents, and a few cents is in tune for anyone. A loud room, a note you start late, or a word instead of a vowel can throw one note off; try again before you believe it. A low score on one go is not a verdict about your ear. Most people land closer on the second go, once they know the game.

Tips: sing "la" or "oo" and hold it steady, start as soon as the note stops, and come close to the phone. Headphones keep the played note out of the microphone.

Then make something of it

Your five notes, as you sang them, go into Brumm as a melody inside a club track with a beat and a bass. No account, no upload: the notes travel inside the link itself. Sing a whole line there, and it becomes an instrument.
