Using Audacity to help learn your music
|
Many people have found the freeware program "Audacity" to be very helpful in learning your music. Audacity is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I have created a document with screen shots showing how to install and use the program along with a YouTube video recording of a live training session where I demonstrated using the program to learn your part. The YouTube video can be accessed here while the PDF file of the training document can be downloaded right from this webpage. By loading the part-predominant track into Audacity you can do several things: - By panning the learning track full left, you can record yourself singing along with only your part, as in a 1-on-1 session with a teacher who knows your part. - By panning the learning track full right, you can record yourself singing along with the other 3 parts as in a quartet. Also, after downloading and installing a free mp3 encoder (instructions are contained within Audacity) you can export an mp3 file of your best efforts and send it to someone to review. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at email: tedblank [at] gmail [dot] com , or call me at (603) 817 9814. Best of luck with your learning efforts!

"It's an unforgettable weekend with good music, great friends, and lifelong memories!"
"I SO enjoy quartetting with talented singers, and there was ample opportunity to do that over 36 hours. I'm hooked!" "It was wonderful to have guys as rock solid as I had become on the songs and ready to really perform them (not just 'work on them')" "More fun than I would ever have ever expected." "It is always good to sing with guys who know their words and notes. The big chorus experience is also a thrill." "I enjoyed learning the twelve songs, singing with pick-up quartets during the weekend." "[In] addition to being fine singing, it was graced with humor and irreverence." "I had an excellent time because I got to sing forever!" "Nice to see old (and new) faces and sing with a lot of different guys." |
