The panel explained
How your score works.
Five dimensions. Weighted the way a real audition panel weighs them. Scored on our servers, privately. No human hears your recording.
Server-side scoring, no human review.
Your take goes to our servers, the AI panel scores it, and the report comes back. No human hears your recording. Your audio is not retained by default after the score is returned. The same rubric applies to every take, every student, every instrument.
The five dimensions
Tone
15%Core sound quality. The panel listens for centered bow contact, weight without forcing, and whether the sound holds across dynamics and registers.
What the panel listens for: A clean resonant note versus a thin or pressed one. The bow finding the string consistently.
Intonation
25%Pitch accuracy. The panel tracks center-of-pitch on every note, plus drift across the take. Finger placement, vibrato shape, and bow-speed all affect pitch.
What the panel listens for: Whether F-sharps are reliable, shifts land on pitch, and pitch holds under fast or loud passages.
Rhythm
20%Inter-onset consistency: how evenly your note attacks land relative to a steady pulse. Tracked on every onset across the full take.
What the panel listens for: Whether triplets are even, subdivisions stay consistent, and the beat is felt rather than counted.
Tempo
15%Pulse stability over time. Not the same as rhythm: rhythm is intra-beat consistency; tempo is whether the average pulse drifts across 30 seconds.
What the panel listens for: Whether the marked tempo holds from start to finish, climaxes stay on pulse, and phrase ends do not drag.
Musicality
25%Phrase shape, dynamic arc, and expressive intent. The panel listens for whether the playing has direction: does the phrase actually go somewhere?
What the panel listens for: Dynamics that descend without losing tone, rubato that reads as intentional, and style markers that fit the period.
What the verdict means
The five dimensions roll up to an overall score (0-100). The verdict is the panel's call based on where that score lands.
Performance is at or above the panel-grade threshold for the audition tier. Technical execution is reliable and musical intent is readable. Competitive for placement.
Solid performance with clear strengths. One or two dimensions need targeted work before the audition. The panel would want to hear more.
Foundational gaps are limiting the score. The panel can point to specific dimensions. A focused practice block will move the needle before the next take.
Thresholds shift by audition tier: All-State typically requires 85+ for Advance; conservatory auditions typically require 90+. The panel's confidence value adjusts the score for uncommon repertoire or unusual recording conditions.
Common questions
Is this real scoring or a gimmick?
It is real scoring. The panel is synthetic, not a human panel in a room, but every measurement is grounded in your actual audio. Intonation is tracked note by note in cents. Rhythm measures inter-onset timing against a steady pulse. Tone evaluates resonance from the waveform. Tempo tracks pulse stability across the full take. The same rubric applies to every recording. Verdict thresholds are calibrated against real state audition panel rubrics including TMEA, FMEA, and CMEA.
How is each of the five dimensions measured?
Tone (15%): resonance and core sound quality derived from the waveform, including bow contact and sound centering. Intonation (25%): pitch deviation in cents on every note in your take, plus drift across the recording. Rhythm (20%): inter-onset consistency, how evenly your note attacks land relative to a steady pulse. Tempo (15%): pulse stability over time, whether the average tempo drifts from start to finish. Musicality (25%): phrase shape, dynamic arc, and expressive intent. The five scores roll up to an overall score of 0-100.
Is intonation really measured in cents?
Yes. The panel tracks center-of-pitch on every note. Deviations are measured in cents, hundredths of a semitone. A note running 10-15 cents sharp or flat registers as noticeable; 20 cents or more is a meaningful hit on the intonation score. When a report mentions a precise reading, for example 'the G runs 14 cents sharp,' that figure comes directly from the pitch analysis of your recording. The panel also tracks drift: whether pitch holds under fast passages and whether shifts land cleanly.
Is my audio private and can I delete it?
Your recording goes to the scoring servers and is not retained by default after the report is returned. No human hears your recording. Paid subscribers have the option to keep audio for their own playback review, and it stays private to their account only. To delete your account and all associated data, contact support and it will be removed.
