Find the Tonic by Ear: A Daily Home Note Game for Singers

Every day DailyVocal plays a few chords in a new key, such as I–IV–V or vi–IV–V, and stops before they reach home. You hum the note that feels like home, the tonic, in whatever octave suits your voice, and the page tells you whether you found it. If you hum the root of the last chord instead, it says so: that is the most common mistake, because that chord is leaning towards home rather than sitting on it. Finding home by ear is what lets you start a song in key, learn tunes by ear and improvise. Three tries a day, then the key is revealed. Free, no account, no headphones, nothing recorded.
