“I’m singing the wrong pitch.” “I’m singing on the wrong pitch.” Which is correct?

"Singing the wrong pitch" is correct. It means the same as "singing the wrong note." If you are singing only slightly too high or too low, then you are "off pitch" or "out of tune." (The opposite of these are "on pitch" and "in tune.")

It should be *in* or *at*.

If you really wanted to use "on" you would have to have to use another word/concept to make it make sense. Like if you were to analogise - compare changing from one pitch to another to landing a helicopter, plane or an expedition vessel you could say "I landed on the wrong pitch".

In my experience, saying "singing the wrong pitch" is far more common than any other variation.

The first, "Singing the wrong pitch" sounds like it refers to a single note. You're trying to sing middle-C but your pitch was too low and you hit a B instead. The second sentence sounds wrong to me. I think if you generally wanted to say you were singing a whole song incorrectly, you'd say "I'm singing off-pitch." The debate over in/on/with/at prepositions all sound comprehensible (I'd know what you meant) but awkward to me.

I’d say either ‘singing out of tune’ or ‘singing in the wrong pitch’ (depending on how badly I’m mangling it, the first being the worse)

Singing the wrong note, singing out of key, singing out of tune, singing at the wrong pitch, singing flat, singing sharp.

You want to sing a note, so you try to sing *at* a certain pitch. If you sing at the right pitch, you are singing on-pitch. If you sing at slightly the wrong pitch, you are singing off-pitch, while if you get the pitch totally wrong then you are singing the wrong note. If you sing multiple notes, you are probably singing *in* a key, and if it's the correct one for the song then you are on-key, but if it's the wrong one, you are singing off-key. Either being off-pitch or off-key means you are singing out of tune. Simple, right? 😁

"Singing **at** the wrong pitch" means all the notes are too high or too low. "Singing the wrong pitch" means you're singing one specific note at the wrong pitch.

"I'm singing at the wrong pitch" or "I'm in the wrong key" or "I'm off-key" or "I'm out of tune"

I'd go for 'at the wrong pitch'. - This species of cricket sings at a pitch too high for humans to hear. - Those owls hoot at such a low pitch. 'In' feels more comfortable with 'key' to my ear. - What key are you in? They're likely both accepted.

The last one sounds like you turned up at Trent Bridge to entertain the crowd, but the stadium is empty: everyone is at the (World Famous) City Ground waiting for you to sing

If you're on the wrong pitch you've turned up at the wrong sports ground.

Music student (opera) and native english speaker here: This comment section is pissing me off. Singing the wrong pitch is gramatically correct, but it means the wrong note, not slightly out of tune. For example, singing a G instean of an A would be the wrong pitch. singing out of tune means being slightly too high or too low. You can be more specific by saying "sharp" for too high or "flat" for too low. Singing off-key is another way to say singing out of tune.

“Singing AT the wrong pitch” or “off pitch” would be correct. But that’s not really how native speakers would say it, either. “Out of tune” or “off key” is how native speakers would say.

I'd say "singing *at* the wrong pitch" would be what you'd use in this case.

A lot of people are wrong here. Pitch is the same as note. A lot of people are thinking of key. You sing *in* the correct key. You sing *on* the correct pitch, or simply sing the correct pitch.

they both sound awkward

they're both correct, except I'd replace on with in or at

“Off pitch” also works. He was off pitch.

Neither. "...*in* the wrong pitch" is correct.

I am off pitch.
