Liz recently attended an excellent ANATS WA event on contemporary singing presented by Perth singer and teacher Liyana Yusof. Liyana referred to some of the many phone apps which are useful to singers, singing teachers and music teachers in general.
How many of these do you use?
Perfect Piano - free – for those times when you need a keyboard on the run
Shazam – Free – for identifying songs you hear in the car, at a concert and elsewhere and think they could be useful in class
Spotify – Free - with a premium version at $9.99 per month
YouTube – Free – for playing examples of music performances to your students. A great aid when paired with a mini speaker.
Pro Metronome- free – can be used to provide beat when practising rhythms and rhythmic patterns in class, as well as setting the speed for a performance.
Voice Recorder / Voice Memo function on your phone – ideal for recording rhythms, melodies and other practice tracks for students.
