How accurate is it?
This warm-up is a practice aid, not lab-grade tuning equipment. Browser pitch detection depends on your microphone, speakers, and room noise.
- Readings within a few cents of center are close enough for singing practice.
- Some notes (often lower ones like C4) may read slightly sharp on built-in laptop or phone mics — that is normal.
- For best results, sing in a quiet room and match the target after the reference tone stops, rather than playing the speaker into the mic.
What the score means
Score: hits / attempts. A hit means your pitch stayed close to center long enough to count.
Ideas for later practice
- Comfortable range check (lowest and highest easy notes).
- Simple intervals (thirds, fifths, octaves).
- Holding one note steady for several seconds.
- Smooth slides up to a target without overshooting.
