Exercises

Ear training and sight reading

Two exercise surfaces that do not need a reference recording or a teacher present. Both generate fresh material rather than walking a fixed list, so you cannot memorise your way through them.

Ear training

Interval and swara recognition. You hear a reference and then notes to identify, and you name them. Difficulty levels change how many notes are in play at once, with the harder levels asking you to name several in order rather than one in isolation.

The exercises are randomised and unlimited — there is no fixed bank you will exhaust. In traditions where Sa is the reference rather than a fixed concert pitch, the tones are voiced to suit that, so the drill matches how you actually think about the interval.

How to get value from it

Short and daily beats long and occasional. Five minutes is a reasonable dose.
Stay at a level until you are comfortable rather than bored. Moving up early trains guessing.
If you consistently miss one interval, that is the finding. Take it to the tuner and drone and sing it against the reference.

Sight reading

Reading practice presented in your own notation system — sargam for Indian classical personas, staff for Western — at levels that build up. You read, you sing, and the app scores how close what you sang was to what was written.

What the score is. A pitch-accuracy measure, not a reading-skill grade. It tells you whether the notes you produced matched the notes on the page. It cannot tell whether you read them or guessed them from the sound of the previous bar, so be honest with yourself about which you did.

How these differ from the analysis features

	Ear training / sight reading	Recorded-take analysis
You supply	Nothing — material is generated	A recording, and usually a reference
Measures	Whether you identified or produced the right note	Where a performance drifted from a reference
Good for	Building the underlying skill	Fixing a specific piece you are working on

What this is not

These are drills, not a curriculum. There is no graded syllabus in the app that takes you from sarali varisai through alankaram to varnam, and no repertoire course. If you want a progression, that still comes from a teacher — the app supplies the daily reps and the measurement.

Asset note for the site maintainer: no ear-training or sight-reading screenshots exist yet. See the capture brief in docs/marketing/screenshot-brief.md. No placeholders are used here.
