Learn to sing! As a beginner vocalist, I can't always tell whether I'm on pitch or not, and it is useful to have feedback. I hope you find it useful too! The numbers on the left side of the screen indicate the octave, the letters on the right side of the screen indicate the note. Start singing to graph your pitch. Tap the screen once to access the options bar.

Practice Wheel takes the guesswork out of practice. Build your repertoire, spin the wheel to pick what to play, and watch your progress add up. SPIN THE WHEEL Add your songs, spin, and play. Smart Spin leans toward the songs you've practiced least, so nothing gets forgotten. Spin from all your songs or from a set, like a recital program or your warm-ups. TAKE THE STAGE One tap starts a focused practice session: a timer toward your daily goal, a metronome with tap tempo, a tempo ladder that walks you up to full speed, and a built-in tuner. CHORD CHARTS Keep a chord chart with any song. Transpose it to a new key and let it autoscroll at your tempo while you play. On iPad it sits beside the timer. YOUR JOURNEY Every session is logged with how it felt and your notes. See your streak, a 16-week heatmap, milestones, and semester and year recaps. FRIENDS Share a friend code, cheer each other on, and collect stickers on your weekly cork board. FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Teachers create classes, share a join code, see each student's week at a glance, and send assignments and encouragement. Class spin picks who plays next and what they play, right in the lesson. Students join with a code and get their assignments in the app. MAKE IT YOURS Let each song's album art color the app, or choose from over a dozen themes, or build your own.
