Hear it. Tap it back. Get scored.
Adaptive sight-singing and ear-training drills in tonic solfa & jianpu, free, in your browser, no install. Steps → scale → leaps, scored note-by-note.
Three difficulty levels. Two modes. One score that compounds.
Listen mode
Melodic dictation
Hear a phrase, tap it back in solfa or jianpu. Phrases are short by design, a few notes at a time, so you get many attempts rather than one long one. Each note is scored against what actually sounded, and a run of clean phrases builds a session streak; the first wrong note ends it.
Read mode
Sight-reading
See a phrase in solfa or jianpu, tap (or sing) it back. The phrase is rendered in real notation, the same renderer the editor uses, so you are reading what you'd read on a score rather than a simplified practice format. Scoring is note-by-note, and a missed note doesn't end the phrase, you keep going and see exactly which degrees tripped you up.
From neighbouring notes to interval jumps.
Steps
Only neighbouring scale degrees (d→r, r→m, m→f...). The starter level, get a feel for how the syllables sound in sequence.
Full scale
Any combination of the seven degrees. Tests your ear on intervals you wouldn't naturally cluster.
Leaps
4ths, 5ths, octaves. Builds the "interval radar" needed for real choral music, most hymns include at least a leap of a 5th.
