For Violists
Audition-grade feedback for violists.
Record a take. Get a five-dimension panel verdict in sixty seconds: intonation in cents, rhythm, tempo, tone, and musicality. Written critique included.
How scoring works
Five dimensions. The same ones a real panel uses.
Intonation across the full viola range.
Intonation is the first dimension scored. Pitch precision is evaluated across the entire take: whether notes land in tune, how consistent intonation is across registers, and whether shifts hold their pitch center. The viola's wider string spacing means extensions and higher positions carry their own demands. Results are reported in cents deviation, giving you a concrete measurement rather than a general note about pitch.
Tone quality and bow production.
Tone and intonation are separate dimensions. Viola tone spans from the resonant darkness of the C string to the clarity of the A string. Bow weight and contact point work differently across that range than they do on violin. The Audition Simulator scores tone on its own and the written critique notes which measures had the fullest resonance and where bow production thinned or scratched.
Rhythm, tempo, and musicality.
Rhythm accuracy and tempo consistency are measured against the pulse your performance establishes. Musicality captures phrasing: whether the line shapes itself, whether dynamic contrast serves the phrase, whether the performance communicates beyond the notes. All five dimensions appear in the verdict alongside measure-level written notes.
What you get
Everything a serious violist needs between lessons.
Five-dimension panel verdict in sixty seconds
Intonation, rhythm, tempo, tone, and musicality scored on every take. The same dimensions a real audition panel evaluates.
Intonation reported in cents
A concrete measurement, not a general note. Cents deviation gives you a number to track and a clear target for the next take.
Measure-level written critique
The critique names specific measures: where bow production was strongest, where intonation drifted, where rhythm lost its center. Not general impressions.
Practice teacher, any hour
After the verdict, a practice teacher walks you through the critique and builds a plan. Available any time you want to practice, not just once a week.
Score history across takes
Takes accumulate so you can see whether intonation, tone, and the other dimensions are trending in the right direction over time.
No account required for the first three takes
Record a take, get a verdict, read the critique. No credit card. No commitment. You decide whether it is useful before subscribing.
Common questions
What violists ask.
Is Orchestra Kingdom designed for viola specifically?
Orchestra Kingdom supports violin, viola, cello, and double bass. The five-dimension panel: intonation, rhythm, tempo, tone, and musicality applies to all four instruments. The Audition Simulator evaluates your viola take on its own terms, not as a transposed violin part.
How does the Audition Simulator score viola intonation?
Intonation is measured in cents deviation from equal temperament across the entire take. The Audition Simulator identifies which measures had the largest pitch discrepancies and whether they were consistent or isolated. The wider string spacing on viola means shifts and extensions carry their own intonation demands, and the critique reflects that.
Does it evaluate viola tone quality?
Tone is scored as a separate dimension from intonation. Viola tone is shaped by bow weight, contact point, and the way the instrument resonates across its full range from the C string to the A string. The Audition Simulator scores tone independently and the written critique notes where bow production was fullest and where it thinned.
What auditions is this useful for?
Orchestra Kingdom is built for orchestral string players preparing for school orchestra placement, All-Region and All-State auditions, youth symphony rounds, and college audition preparation. The five-dimension panel mirrors what real audition panels evaluate.
Can I submit any excerpt I am working on?
Yes. You record whatever excerpt or passage you are practicing. The Audition Simulator does not require a specific piece from a repertoire list. It evaluates the take on its merits across all five dimensions and returns a written critique with measure-level notes.
Does it replace my private teacher?
No. A private teacher and Orchestra Kingdom address different parts of the practice week. Your teacher meets you once a week. The other six practice sessions happen without real feedback. Orchestra Kingdom fills that gap: every take gets a scored verdict and written critique so you are not guessing whether you improved.
Is there a practice teacher as well as an Audition Simulator score?
Yes. After the five-dimension verdict, a practice teacher reviews the critique with you and builds a plan for the next session. The teacher is available any hour and gives specific, actionable feedback every time you play.
How much does it cost?
Three Audition Simulator takes are free with no credit card required. The paid plan is $19 per month for unlimited sessions and takes.
