Note reading · Whole score
Singing the score
Singing shows whether you heard the note correctly in your head. The name and solfège are given; whether you are in tune is for your ear to judge.
Singing the score
How to practise
- 01Listen through once before you sing. Guessing the first note wastes the whole phrase.
- 02Tap single notes that surprise you instead of restarting the piece.
- 03Sing the name, not “la”. The syllable keeps the letter attached to the sound.
Common questions
Why show both the name and solfège?
The letter name decides which position you take, solfège decides what you sing. Reading a new score uses the name in your head and the syllable in your mouth, so both are shown.
What if I sing out of tune?
Listen through the piece first, then follow. Wrong pitch usually means the note names are not solid yet; go back to “Learn the notes” rather than repeating the same page.
Does singing help with reading new scores?
Yes. Singing links pitch directly to the symbol, so reading a new score no longer goes through “work out the name, then imagine the pitch”.
Can I use this page without singing?
Yes. It works as reading practice: the score highlights note by note and the name appears below, silently.
