Can't afford singing lessons? Now you can, as long as you have a Mac or Windows computer with a DVD-ROM drive, plus an Internet connection for online activation. Like past eMedia music tutorials, this collection of vocal lessons is well constructed and the no-gimmick menu system makes it easy to jump directly to a specific lesson or set of lessons. Content includes 230 lessons that start with the basics of singing technique, singing in time, and in tune. Next you learn how to project your voice, increase your range, vocal agility, expression, pitch and sight read from music. If your computer has a microphone, you can get feedback on your pitch, to get objective feedback on your ability to match a melody. We especially liked how you can toggle on/off the accompaniment. The song library is varied, with 80 songs pulled from pop, folk, jazz, R&B, opera, classical and showtunes. Tutorials are given by way of 30 videos. If you are a vocal coach or teach singing lessons, this is a good tool to know about.
