SightSing is an iOS and web app for practicing sight-singing with real-time microphone feedback. As you sing, it grades each note as hit, miss, or off by a half step. Its curriculum has 18 levels, each introducing one concept, and uses rolling-window mastery so a missed day does not reset progress. Three trainers cover sight-singing, rhythm, and intervals, with progress tracked separately; adaptive difficulty is available. The free plan includes Levels 1–3 and requires no credit card. Monthly access costs 4.99 USD per month, and annual access costs 49.00 USD per year; both paid plans include all 18 levels, the rhythm and interval trainers, feedback, streaks, and practice history. Visitors can try a sample melody without signing up. Microphone audio is processed on the device and is not recorded or sent to SightSing; only the score is saved. Pitch grading can vary with the device, microphone, ambient noise, and singing volume, so scores are feedback rather than infallible measures. SightSing is designed for ages 13 and up and is not currently a classroom product.
Who it is for
