Bel Canto Serioso

A voice training tool for singers with various vocal exercises.

Bel Canto Serioso is a voice training tool with various vocal exercises. It can also be used for ear training and practicing solfege, chromatic solfege.

For now it has 60+ vocal exercises which can be played in either major or minor tonalities in any given range and bpm.

Exercises can be filtered by interval span: third, fifth, sixth... or by motion: descending, stepwise, skipwise, agility, glides, diatonic...

Exercise ranges can be set for a given voice classification. Female/Male Advanced section can be used if classified ranges are limiting.

All scales can be played at any tempo between 45 and 260 bpm.

Exercises can be bookmarked for quicker reference.

The playing note of the scale is shown as text; Bb4 (or Sib4 or Te4).

In the settings you can set the solfege system to be used within the app.

Solfege system choices are, English, Italian and Chromatic Solfege. The app will then display all note names in the chosen solfege system.

There are two player modes;

- Auto mode plays the exercises in a given range as usual.

- In Manual mode the pattern/scale of the exercise can be advanced higher or lower manually. This is similar to practicing with an instrument, like playing

a scale more than a few times at a problematic zone in your range ad advancing when done.

The difference from my other app "Bel Canto Exercises" is;

- This app has more exercises.

- You can choose to play an exercise in major or minor tonality.**

- This app has diatonic exercises, where the exercise pattern moves diatonically.

- You can enable background playback so the exercise will keep playing when the screen is turned off.

- You can loop an exercise to play it repeatedly.

- You can mute the metronome beat sound that accompanies the exercise.

**For example you can play Rossini Scale in major or in harmonic minor. You can play the pentatonic exercises which are only in this app as major pentatonic or minor pentatonic. Triad/arpeggio exercises can be played in 5 qualities; major, minor, suspended, diminished and augmented.

Some exercises can also be played in whole tone scale.
