About MusicalBoard

MusicalBoard is a free, browser-based practice space centered on singers: live pitch feedback, vocal scales, a metronome, a reference keyboard, spectrum and dynamics views, and recording — together in one dashboard, without another app install or an account.

Why this project exists

Practicing vocals at home used to mean juggling a tuner, a metronome, a DAW or voice memos, and sometimes a piano plug-in — every switch breaks focus. I wanted a single tab I could open on a laptop or tablet, approve the microphone once, and move from humming warmups to checking intonation without hunting for the right program. Modern browsers are finally fast enough for responsive audio; WebAssembly and the Web Audio API make it realistic to keep analysis on your machine. MusicalBoard grew out of that constraint: a small toolkit that stays in the browser instead of asking you to install one more native app.

Who runs MusicalBoard

The site is built and maintained by an independent developer with a software background and a long habit of using these same exercises while practicing singing. This is not a conservatory, record label, or medical service — it is a focused technical side project meant to support lessons and self-directed practice. The tools show what your microphone hears; they do not replace a vocal coach, teacher, or hearing professional, and they are not a substitute for personalized instruction when you need it.

What you can do here today

A real-time vocal pitch graph for intonation, vibrato, and stability.
Spectrum and dynamics views for tone colour, breath noise, and level over time.
A metronome, customizable vocal scale patterns, and a virtual piano for starting notes and range checks.
Recording and playback with export to common formats where your browser allows — so you can review takes or share them on your own terms.

How this differs from many vocal apps

MusicalBoard is deliberately singer-first: copy, defaults, and detail pages assume you are working with the voice, not only abstract “notes.” Everything runs in the tab — handy when you borrow a computer or send a student a link. Core pitch, spectrum, and recording paths execute locally in your browser; we do not upload your performances to MusicalBoard for cloud analysis. The service is free to use and may show ads (see the Privacy Policy for cookies, Google AdSense, and third-party scripts). There is no paywall for the practice features described on the dashboard.

What we are working toward

Priorities shift, but the roadmap stays vocal-centric: deeper guidance such as structured warm-up content and range-oriented flows, clearer educational material around intonation and healthy practice, and ongoing polish for smaller screens and accessibility. Not everything on that list will ship on a fixed date — this is a small project — but when meaningful updates land, they will show up here first. For a quick list of common questions (mobile support, accounts, audio privacy), see the FAQ on the home page.
