great website for improving pitch

[kenste]

A few days ago I was really frustrated with my pitchiness while playing, and realized that my lack of improvement was due to the fact that I didn't have absolute pitch. How could I have perfect pitch if I didn't know what perfect pitch sounded like?


I found this website pitchimprover.com/index.php?type=Perfect a few days ago and it has greatly improved my pitch. It's only been a few days, but my notes in first position D & G key sound much better. Hopefully others find this website useful as well.

thanks for the link. It reminds me of when I played piano.

I still struggle to transfer the pitch to a bowed instrument. Will try with this.

This looks great, but I can't understand the instructions! How do you know if you have gotten the pitch right. What does it mean that the progress number tells you how many more you have to do to go to the next level? I am missing something here, but I want to try this. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Completing the progress bar is a way of proving that you really do know your pitches-- once you get a long enough streak, it ups the difficulty and adds an extra note. If you just want to move on to a higher difficulty though, you can use the arrows keys next to the "level".

I recommend doing this for 15-20 minutes a day, either in the morning or night. It's crazy how fast you improve, and you'll notice it to transfer to your playing too

Do you always tune D to G?

How about D to A? I like the extra note I can get from lower string.

Erhu is always tuned D to A. I just meant that my intonation when playing songs in D and G key is pretty good now
