About

Strum & Sing

Features
Read full description

Strum & Sing is a focused practice companion for musicians who want guitar rhythm, pitch training, and voice confidence in one simple app. Start with Songs to find something you can actually play. Browse beginner-friendly English and Bollywood songs, see the chord shapes, suggested strumming pattern, tempo, capo notes, and play-along guidance. Use Strum Studio in Toolkit to lock in steady rhythm. Follow clear strumming patterns, choose count, click, or strum sounds, and build timing at a comfortable tempo. Then move into Pitch to find the home note that fits your voice. Use Quick Detect for a fast starting point, or follow the guided flow to check octave comfort and save your scale. Warm Up turns that saved scale into a daily vocal routine. Start with Breath Control, continue with piano-led Scale Practice, and move into Low Register Exercise when you are ready to work on lower notes. Challenge helps you check whether practice is really landing. Sing scale notes, work on a steady hiss, hold low-register notes, and use Mystery Sequence to train your ear with short daily sing-back puzzles. Toolkit gives you a steady tanpura drone and Live Scale view so you can find your notes against a home-pitch reference when your ear is ready. Built for short, repeatable practice sessions: - Songs tab with chords, tempo, capo, and suggested strumming patterns - Strum Studio for beginner-friendly rhythm practice in Toolkit - Metronome, count, click, and strum sounds - Quick home-note detection - Do Re Mi and Sa Re Ga notation - Piano-led vocal warm ups - Breath Control and Low Register Exercise - Pitch, hiss breathing, low-register, and Mystery Sequence challenges - Toolkit tanpura drone and Live Scale - Clear audio route labels for mic and output Use a few focused minutes each day to build steadier rhythm, clearer pitch, and more confident song practice.
