## What is PitchStar?

Have you ever wished you could just hear a song and play it back? Or sing any note you hear, on pitch, without thinking?

Pitchstar is the iPhone ear training app that gets you there, five minutes a day. It's the only ear trainer that actually listens to you sing, with real-time pitch feedback on every exercise. Beautiful. Friendly. Effective. Built for singers, music students, music teachers, and anyone who wants to hear music the way pros do.

WHO IT'S FOR

Singers and choir members who want to lock in their pitch.
Music students cramming solfege, intervals, or sight singing.
Guitarists, pianists, and instrumentalists who want to play by ear.
Music teachers looking for an app to assign to their class.
Total beginners who've always wanted a "musical ear" but didn't know where to start.

WHAT MAKES PITCHSTAR DIFFERENT

Sing-back ear training. Most ear-training apps make you tap multiple-choice buttons. Pitchstar uses your microphone to listen as you sing. Every exercise gives you real-time feedback on your actual pitch. The tuner shows exactly where you are. Your accuracy gets a little tighter every session.

A structured Star Map curriculum. No guessing what to practice. The Star Map lays out everything you need to learn, one topic at a time. Finish one, unlock the next. Always know what you've completed and what's ahead.

Beautiful design built for daily practice. Five minutes a day, pretty enough to actually open. No clunky interface, no intimidating textbook layout. Just clean exercises that make practicing feel good.

WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE

Pitch matching. Start matching simple notes from day one. Build up to finer differences. Watch your accuracy climb session by session.

Solfege and relative pitch. Learn to hear the relationships between notes by singing solfege syllables. Start with simple patterns, work up to recognizing any note's role in a key.

Intervals. Begin with the easy ones, the ones your ear already knows from songs. New intervals layer in as the basics click. Before long you're recognizing them in real music without thinking.

Harmony. A chord plays. You identify the quality. Major? Minor? Something spicier? It starts simple and builds.

Rhythm. Listen to a pattern, clap it back. As your timing locks in, the patterns get more interesting.
