Frequently Asked Questions
What is ear training?
Ear training is learning to identify musical notes and intervals by listening. You hear a note, then find it on the piano — a core skill for any musician.
What is pitch matching?
Pitch matching is reproducing a note you hear with your voice. You hear a reference pitch, sing it back, and get real-time feedback on your accuracy — training vocal intonation and the connection between your ear and your voice.
How does pitch matching work on Guess the Note?
You hear a piano reference note, then sing it back into your microphone. The app listens in real time and shows whether you are in tune, sharp, or flat — then scores your match so you can retry or move on.
Do I need a microphone for pitch matching?
Yes. Pitch matching uses your browser microphone to detect the pitch you sing. Allow mic access when prompted — processing stays in your browser, and no account or download is required.
What is vocal range calibration?
Before you practise, you can record your lowest and highest comfortable notes. Guess the Note uses that range so practice notes stay within your voice — a quick vocal range check that keeps exercises singable and relevant.
How can I improve my singing pitch accuracy?
Start in Pitch Matching Practice Mode with single notes inside your calibrated vocal range. Listen to the reference, sing steadily, and use the real-time feedback to adjust. Short daily sessions (10–15 minutes) build the connection between your ear and your voice faster than occasional long practice.
Can I use pitch matching if I'm not a singer?
Yes. Pitch matching helps anyone who wants better intonation — choir members, instrumentalists checking tuning by ear, or complete beginners learning what in tune feels like. Calibrate your range, start with easy settings, and work up at your own pace.
Do I need musical experience?
No. Both tools are beginner-friendly. Start with easy settings in Practice Mode and work your way up at your own pace.
How does Game Mode work?
Game Mode runs timed rounds (about 5 minutes by default). Answer as many notes as you can, earn XP and combos, and track your scores over time.
What should I start with?
Most beginners start with Ear Training in Practice Mode to learn note recognition. Try Pitch Matching when you want to work on singing or playing in tune.
I struggle to remember pitches — what should I do?
Consistent short sessions work best. Practise ear training for 10–15 minutes a day in Practice Mode — hear a note, find it on the piano, and replay the audio as often as you need. Daily repetition builds the memory that makes pitch recognition automatic.
How long should I practise ear training each day?
Most musicians see the best results with 10–20 minutes of focused practice per day, rather than one long session once a week. Split your time between single-note recognition in Practice Mode and timed rounds in Game Mode when you are ready for a challenge.
Do I need perfect pitch to train my ear?
No. Perfect pitch — naming a note without any reference — is rare and not required. Ear training focuses on relative pitch: recognising notes and intervals in relation to each other. That skill is fully trainable with consistent practice.
How do I identify piano notes by ear?
Start with single notes in a small range — try middle C to G in Practice Mode with black keys off. Listen carefully, guess the note on the virtual piano, and check your answer. Gradually widen the range and add black keys as your accuracy improves.
Is Guess the Note free to use?
Yes. Ear training and pitch matching are free in your browser — no download or account required. Open Practice Mode to learn at your pace, or try Game Mode for timed challenges with XP and progress tracking.
How long does it take to get better at ear training?
With 10–15 minutes of daily practice, many beginners notice clearer note recognition within a few weeks. Progress depends on consistency — short regular sessions beat occasional long ones.
How do I know I'm improving?
Play regular rounds in Game Mode — each session records your accuracy, score, and streak. Open the progress page to see your overall accuracy, personal best, XP level, and trend charts over the past week. Compare today's results to yesterday, watch your accuracy climb over time, and unlock achievements as you hit new milestones.
