Curriculum

Singing is not one skill. It is a stack of them, and they have an order. This is the path SingDeep coaches — from finding your instrument to bending a note on purpose — and the single loop that drives every step of it.

The methodOne loop, every stage

You do not practice against an abstract ideal. At every stage you sing against a real reference performance, and SingDeep runs the same four beats:

sing → diff vs. reference → isolate the one biggest fixable deviation → one drill → sing again → re-measure

It does not hand you a report card with nine things to fix. It finds the single deviation that is both large and correctable right now, gives you one short exercise aimed exactly at it, and then measures whether the exercise worked. Diagnosis, prescription, re-test — the way a good teacher actually works, not the way a scoreboard does.

Stage 00 — Foundation

Find your instrument

Before pitch, before rhythm: breath, posture, and an honest baseline. You record yourself singing a phrase you already know, with no coaching — so every later take has a truthful "before" to be measured against.

Drill: one sustained note, a comfortable pitch, held for eight seconds. SingDeep tracks how steady the contour is — the wobble is your starting line, not a verdict.
Stage 01 — Correctness

Pitch & centering

Can you choose a note and land on its center, then stay there? This is the most measurable thing in singing, so it comes first. SingDeep traces your pitch against the reference frame by frame and shows you where you sit sharp, where you sit flat, and how long you drift before you settle.

Drill: match-and-hold. The reference plays one note; you sing it back and hold. The diff shows your cents error and settle time — the goal is to shrink both across takes.
Stage 02 — Correctness

Onset & rhythm

The right note in the wrong place is still wrong. Here the work is attacks — starting each note when it belongs, neither rushed nor late. Alignment separates a timing problem from a pitch problem, so you are never told to fix the wrong thing.

Drill: isolate the phrase where your onsets drift, slow it down, and land each attack on the click. Speed returns only once placement is reliable.
Stage 03 — Shape

Phrasing & breath

Now the individual notes become a line. Where does the phrase rise and fall? Where do you breathe, and does the breath serve the line or interrupt it? SingDeep reads energy and phrase events, not just pitch, so it can talk about the arc of a line and not only its dots.

Drill: sing the whole phrase on a single vowel, shaping only the loud-soft contour. Add the words back once the shape survives them.
Stage 04 — Expression

Deviation on purpose

This is where most tools fail you — and where singing actually lives. A scoop, a delayed vibrato, a note leaned behind the beat: these are not errors, they are choices. SingDeep coaches you toward them. You pick a gesture the reference singer uses, and it measures whether yours is controlled, repeatable, and resolves — the difference between a deliberate scoop and an accidental one.

Drill: take one word and sing it four ways — straight, scooped, with early vibrato, with late vibrato. SingDeep confirms each gesture is intentional and consistent, so it becomes a tool you own rather than a habit you can't switch off.
Stage 05 — Integration

A whole song

Everything above, on a real performance you care about. The metric is not a grade — it is whether take three is better than take one, and whether the specific thing you worked on actually moved.

Drill: pick the song. Sing it, work one deviation, sing it again. Watch the same phrase converge toward the reference across the week — see what that looks like →

Running underneathTraining the ear, not just the voice

Every stage also trains perception. You improve fastest when you can hear — or see — your own error before the machine flags it. So SingDeep keeps showing you your take beside the reference and asking you to spot the gesture yourself. The goal, quietly, is to make the coach unnecessary.
