Your computer will listen as you sing and highlight correctly sung notes in green. As you reach your goal of singing the melody correctly, you’ll discover that reading music notation is easier than you ever thought possible!
Performance Evaluation will listen to you sing the whole song and give specific feedback on mistakes as well as an overall score.
Learn sight reading and train your ear with interactive flash cards and review quizzes.
Music Tracking highlights the music and lyrics as they’re heard, making it easy to follow along.
Practice is fun when you have a pianist accompanying you! Professionally arranged live piano accompaniments are included.
Use Variable-Speed MIDI Tracks to speed up or slow the tempo down as desired. Use this in combination with the looping feature, and you can learn at the pace best suited to you!

System requirements
Windows®: Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XPDownload or CD-ROM Macintosh®: macOS 10.5 to 10.14 *
Download or CD-ROM
Internet connection recommended for online activation. Requires a Windows desktop, laptop, or tablet device; or a 32-bit (only) Mac desktop or laptop computer. Not compatible with iPhones, iPads, Android, or Chromebook devices.
* Attention Mac Users Beginning with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple has eliminated the option to run 32-bit apps on the Mac. If you wish to continue using our applications, which currently require 32-bit support, do not upgrade your operating system past Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave). Alternatively, you can retain an older Mac operating system on a separate drive partition. eMedia developers are currently working on software updates to support Catalina and future versions of macOS, but this is a major undertaking. We are currently unable to foresee how long it will take us to create these new versions. If you purchased your eMedia Mac software on or after September 7, 2019, upon receiving proof of purchase we will provide you with a free upgrade to a macOS 10.15 (Catalina)-compatible version of an eMedia application when it becomes available. All other registered owners of eMedia software will be qualified for discounted upgrades.
