Sharp Intonation

Several consecutive notes all sit above pitch — often compensation pushing the pitch up.

In One Sentence

The hint appears only when several consecutive notes each have a median pitch more than about 25 cents above the target (the nearest equal-tempered note). Judged per note: slides, onsets/offsets, and stray notes don't trigger it.

How to Read It

Watch the Pitch chart (True Intonation mode shows cent deviations). The hint appears when the median deviation of several consecutive notes stays positive and each exceeds the threshold; the alert says how many notes in a row and by how many cents at most.

Why Does This Happen?

CauseDescription
Extrinsic compensationA raised larynx or squeezing "pushes" the pitch up (most common)
Excessive air pressureToo much subglottal pressure overshoots the pitch
A sharp referenceThe accompaniment or your inner reference sits high overall

How to Improve

  • Yawn-sigh: release the larynx first and remove the "push"
  • Straight tone: hold the target note and check whether you always land high
  • Straw phonation: balance the pressure, then go back to open voice and verify
