What students learn and why they love it
Students develop vocal independence and timing. By practicing a specific section (measures 37-52) along with the metronome, they learn how to hold their own part against other harmonies. They also take ownership of their practice by managing playback speed and backtracking tools. It feels like a personalized karaoke session. The ability to mute the other vocal parts or keep them playing gives students total control over their comfort level before hitting the record button.
