  5. What Teachers Say • Motivating! Students were fascinated by and loved singing with the program. • Accuracy and motivation have gone through the roof with students who used it regularly. • Finally, a scientific way to measure/assess a student’s ability to sing in tune! • Some students came back again and again to try to improve their score. • Even shy students were willing to sing. • The software surprised many of my students who had been told by either a family or a friend “you can't sing". They were pleasantly surprised to find out that they couldsing and were very good at it too! The software fostered a lot of pride in my students. • The families loved the Sing-Along.

  6. Developing Singing in Third-Grade Music Classrooms: The Effect of a Concurrent-Feedback Computer Game on Pitch-Matching Skills • Dr. Andrew Paney, University of Mississippi • Ann C. Kay, Center for Lifelong Music Making • 2,021 third grade students; 30 music teachers. • Students who practiced 1-5 times with the software made significantly greater increases than those who were merely assessed. • Students who used both staff and graph views showed greater improvement than those who just used one view. • Boys improved more than girls (although they had lower pre- and post- scores). • Real-time, visual feedback helped students improve their singing accuracy
