About

Solfagen

Solfagen turns sight-singing practice into something you can pick up any time — no two exercises ever the same. Built on the Kodály method that music teachers use worldwide, Solfagen generates fresh, original melodies on demand and walks you from your very first two notes toward reading fuller tunes with confidence. Every exercise is singable, follows real melodic rules, and shows the movable-Do solfège syllable under each note: Do, Re, Mi, Sol, La. WHY SINGERS CHOOSE IT • A real skill, not a game. Sight-singing — reading music and hearing it in your head — is the foundation choirs, instrument lessons, and music classes all build on. • A clear path. Levels add one new idea at a time, in the order music teachers actually teach, so progress feels earned, never overwhelming. • Endless practice. The exercise generator never runs out, so repetition builds the ear without memorizing the same line. • Calm and focused. No ads. No accounts to create. No pop-ups pulling attention away from the music. WHAT'S INSIDE • Unlimited auto-generated sight-singing exercises in standard notation • A guided sequence of levels, from simple five-note (pentatonic) patterns toward longer, fuller phrases • Solfège syllables printed under every note • Tap to hear any exercise played back, at a tempo you choose • A built-in metronome to practice keeping time • Clean Paper, Slate, and Night themes • Designed for both iPhone and iPad PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST No accounts, no logins, no tracking, no ads. Practice happens entirely on the device. Questions or feedback? Tap the message icon in the app, or reach us at the support link below. We read everything.
