What you'll be able to say
I matched the sustained reference, released comfortably, and listened for a steady center on repeated short holds.
Lessons
- 1.Steady Is a Skill, Not a Talent
3 min · Listen for drift on a short, comfortable hold and change one thing at a time.
- 2.One Note Per Bar
5 min · Use the supplied sustained reference for short holds, resting between them.
- 3.Self-Check: A Steady Short Hold
4 min · matched the sustained reference, released comfortably, and listened for a steady center on repeated short holds. This is a listening and reflection check.
Where to practise
Suede Sing measures part of this: how long you hold a note within 50 cents of the target. The number is evidence for the room's task, not a pass for the lesson; the self-check is still yours.
No sessions in the warm-up room on this device yet.
Practice material
The exercises and songs play synthesized reference pitches: they supply the notes, not a recording of a singer demonstrating a technique. Record your takes in the recorder.

Work in a comfortable range and volume. Stop for pain, burning, sudden hoarseness, loss of range or a change in your speaking voice. These lessons teach practice decisions and stop rules; they don't diagnose or treat anything, and pitch readings do not assess vocal health. Persistent symptoms belong with a qualified clinician, not another attempt.
