Warmup / Singing / App Resources

Just in case you need more online resources, use these to educate, practice, or just enjoy more from your computer!

Online Resources…something for everyone!

BHS YouTube Channel for Vocal Warmups
These go back as far as 11 years ago. Names you’ve heard or not, male and female, recorded live at HU.

Harmonize at Home – Sing the Polecats – this is a Polecat 1 sing-along!
The site is structured to allow the user to select their voice part. The Polecat then plays the other three parts, allowing the user to add their voice to create all four parts. So break out those Polecat books! This is a good way to be singing every day and to come back with all of those Polecats memorized and solid.

Vocal Encouragement/Health
Get some tips on vocal health, and links for voice assessments, private lessons (yes, online too) and other interesting links.

APPS

Play, learn something new, monitor your voice….your choice! Download these apps to your smart phone, and have a pitch pipe, monitor your pitch, play a drone tone, anything you’d like is available:

TE TUNER (Tonal Energy Tuner)
Includes settings for runing, analysis, metronome, etc. A great resource to see if you are staying on pitch (Sound setting) as you sing, and so much more! Many settings and preferences to learn to use. $

SING INTUNA
Simple app shows your singing voice pitch with a sliding indicator of the note.

SPECTRUMVIEW
Review your overtones as you sing! Realtime spectrogram and spectrum analysis. Fascinating to use, allows recording and playback.

AMASING SLOW DOWNER
This app accesses your music and video library (but not dropbox…you would have to download first). It allows you to change Mix, Pitch, and Speed independently. For those “too fast” songs while you’re learning. You can repeat sections of a song, slow it down or speed it up by changing the speed between 25% and 200% without chanaging the pitch.

WHATS MY NOTE
This app will read a pdf, allowing you to run your finger along the score to hear the note. Allows for recording. Really too small for a phone, much better on a tablet.)

TAG MASTER
HUNDREDS of tags with learning tracks!

HARMONIZE
Game, to learn to match pitches, from octaves through augmented fourths!

forSCORE
forScore really is the perfect sheet music app for your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. It can import just about and PDF and it connects directly to storage services, like Dropbox, so you can import all of your music and have everything you need right on your iPad. $
