What MatchMySound is
MatchMySound is a browser-based music practice platform that compares a student's recording with a teacher or publisher reference. Its sound-recognition algorithm identifies differences in sound qualities and timing every 1/43rd of a second. Once a student finishes playing, the platform provides numerical scores and graphic feedback; it does not give that feedback in real time. The system is intended for pitched instruments, including guitar and piano. Teachers can create assignments, upload original or library content, monitor progress, and use built-in live video for check-ins and coaching. Students can upload MuseScore and MusicXML notation files, along with WAV, MP3, and OGG audio. Matching can be embedded on a web page through an iFrame and connected to learning apps through LTI. Students can use modern browser versions on laptops, tablets, and phones without installing an app. Teacher accounts are free with enrolled, active students, though teachers may cover student fees. Student subscriptions cost $4.99 per month, billed monthly and recurring; a limited-time Sweetwater offer lists a 90-day free trial.
