Abstract

This study is about a software that can be used on touch screen mobile devices which is designed to answer the questions about pitch repetition which are asked in the aural test elimination of performing arts sections enterance examinations of conservatories. Some performing arts school candidates can fail in these examinations because of they can't show their aural skills even they actually hear the pitches because of they have some voice problems, examination excitement or they don't have any singing experience. This software was designed to prevent such a loss. According to tests which have done by this software, 6 of 83 subjects who was unsuccessful in conventional hearing test, could match the pitches. It's thought that this software would be useful to not lose a candidate whom actually has aural skills.
