Does the sheet music come with each vocal practice CD?
No, each singer must provide their own printed copy of the song selection in order to use the practice CD.

Why do I need to number the measures of the sheet music in order to work with the CD?
Each of the tracks corresponds with the numbered measures of the song title that relates to the CD song title. The tracks clearly define the measure in which the phrase begins. Therefore, if a singer is having difficulty with a certain phrase in a song they can repeat that specific track and rehearse the section until improvement is evident.

How is track 12 different from the Rehearsal Accompaniment track that ends each CD?
Track 12 is a recording of the song in its entirety. The singer will hear their vocal line played above the piano accompaniment for that particular song. The final track on each CD is a complete rehearsal accompaniment. This track removes the vocal line and allows the singer to practice their part without the aid of the pitches given in track 12.

Can I use the rehearsal accompaniment for performance?
Unless the song is currently listed in the Public Domain the recording should only be used for rehearsal purposes. No recording can adequately provide the live interpretation and partnership of an actual accompanist for any performance setting.

Why isn't there a singer performing each song?
This product is meant for singers to be able to develop and build their own vocal repertoire without imitating another singer's voice. It is also intended that the singer has an advanced reading ability and/or is working with the assistance of a teacher.

Why are tracks duplicated on the Level I Sight Singing Drills CD?
The first 20 tracks are complete audio examples of the drills the singer will see on the printed notation sheet. Singers should work with these tracks until they build consistency in tonal memory. The second half of this CD is indeed a repeat of the first 20 examples, however, wherever an asterisk is placed above a pitch the singer will have to sing the correct note within the silence that takes place.

What is the reason that the Level I Rhythmic Drills are sounded on one neutral pitch?
This is so the singer will be able to concentrate solely on the rhythmic pattern and develop accuracy without being confused by melodic pitch. Level II Rhythm Drills will combine these two facets of music.
