Litchfield, Connecticut, United States
What it is
MatchMySound is a web-based music practice platform that compares a teacher’s or publisher’s reference recording with a student recording. Its sound-recognition algorithm checks differences in timing and sound qualities every 1/43rd of a second. After the student finishes playing, the service presents numerical scores and graphic displays rather than live feedback. The system is intended for pitched instruments, including guitar and piano. Teachers can create assignments, add original or library content, monitor progress, and use built-in live video for focused coaching between lessons. Students and teachers can upload MuseScore and MusicXML notation files, along with WAV, MP3, and OGG audio. Matching can be placed in a webpage through an iFrame or connected to learning apps through LTI. Students use modern laptop, tablet, and phone browsers without installing an app. Teacher accounts are free with enrolled active students; student subscriptions cost $4.99 per month, and a 90-day trial is listed.
