In this paper we present Sing Master - a new mobile application that allows singing enthusiasts to fulfil their dream: to learn singing. Sing Master is a game-like singing tutor, which provides continuous feedback on singers’ pitch and timing. To this end, it presents a series of singing exercises build around musical intervals (e.g. major third). First, we motivate the use of software to evaluate and teach singing compared to a conventional singing coach. Next, we summarize some very similar software applications and outline what are the benefits of Sing Master compared to them. We finish by describing Sing Master’s most useful feature to ’hear’ the melody being sung and the algorithm, which ’hears’ the musical pitch.
