Random note picker

Pick one random musical note for ear-training and sight-reading drills, random-note practice on any instrument, or improv and songwriting prompts. Choose chromatic (all 12 pitch classes) or naturals only (A B C D E F G), spell the black keys with sharps (♯) or flats (♭), and optionally add a scientific-pitch-notation octave from 2 to 6.

Fair random selection

Each result is selected with browser randomness from the chosen set of notes, every note equally likely. Rangdom uses the Web Crypto API for random generation so the next note is not predictable from previous results. The sharps/flats choice only changes how the five black keys are named — it never changes the underlying uniform distribution.

When to use it

Use this generator for ear-training and sight-reading exercises, to call out a random note for a student or yourself to play, or as a quick starting pitch for improvisation and songwriting. Naturals-only mode is handy for beginners; chromatic covers all 12 pitch classes.
