Play in tune,
in time. Solutfa listens.

Solutfa listens to your instrument through the microphone — designed for instruments played one note at a time — and colours every note of the score as you play it: green, orange or red. You see at once what is in tune and what is not.

What Solutfa does

𝄞

Play along the score

Count-in, metronome, then the score follows you. Each note takes its colour as you play it; at the end, a score for pitch, rhythm and duration, and the heard deviation under every note to work on.

▲

See your progress

Your practice days, your scores going up, and above all what to work on: the tricky passages coloured on the score, the notes you play sharp or flat, the tempo you can hold. By day, week or month.

♯♭

Tuner and metronome

A tuner to the cent, with an adjustable reference (A 440, 442…), and a metronome with count-in, subdivisions and a loop on a section.

⇄

Share with your teacher

One link is enough: the score, or your take with its recording and colours, shows up in your teacher's app — kept apart from their own takes.

𝄡

Your scores

A library of well-known pieces in treble, alto and bass clef, drum exercises 𝄥, MusicXML and MEI import, an editor to write your own — by keyboard, microphone or MIDI — and scanning of printed sheet music.

♫

Play with an accompaniment

Add a piano or orchestra recording: it sets the tempo, slows down for practice, and your playing is scored in time with it.

For teachers

  • One piece, one link. Or a QR code to scan in the lesson: your pupils open it straight away, no account needed.
  • Hear their practice. From their account, a pupil sends you their take: you hear it, and see its colours and the heard deviation under every note to work on.
  • Write the exercise. With the editor or by scanning a printed page, in treble, alto or bass clef, then send it.

Our commitments

  • Free. Everything described here is, with no time limit.
  • No account. The app starts right away. An optional, free account backs up your takes.
  • Solutfa Plus, if you want more. A free account backs up 60 minutes of takes and scans 5 sheets a day; Solutfa Plus raises that to 20 hours and 50 sheets, and brings your history to all your devices: €3.99 per month or €39.99 per year, cancel at any time. You get it from My account, where you also manage your account, game consents and data.
  • Your recordings serve you only. The analysis runs in the browser; without an account nothing leaves the phone except what you export or share; with an account your takes are saved for you alone, never listened to nor exploited, and a bin is always next to them.
  • Designed for instruments played one note at a time. Calibrated on real viola takes; violin, cello, flute, clarinet, trumpet and horn tried out on recorded notes; voice, saxophone and double bass being tested. Piano: melodies and chords (up to 4 notes) on a single staff, from a MIDI keyboard — tried out on a virtual student, not yet on a real keyboard. Drums 𝄥: rhythm judged on the microphone, tried out on recorded hits; the drum you hit judged over MIDI, tried out on a virtual student, not yet on a real module. MIDI needs Chrome on Android, or Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a computer (not Safari, iPhone or iPad). Adjustable tolerances.
  • In your language. An interface made of musicians' symbols, explained in English, French or Spanish where it helps; note names (Do Re Mi, C D E…) are a separate setting.
  • Hosted in Europe, no ads, no trackers.

Play in tune, in time.
