Singer Comments continued...
"I found the opportunity to go over difficult sections within
context of orchestra & other parts helpful."
(I liked...) "being able to listen to my vocal part sung nicely
with orchestral accompaniment."
(I liked...) "At early stage and at difficult spots."
"I like to be prepared when I come to rehearsals - so would
use it."
"I was able to focus on the challenging rhythm and note issues."
"Helped pronunciation."
(I liked...) "slower tempo of more difficult sections, and then
normal emphasized diction and phrasing."
(I liked...) "the idea."
(I liked...) "I liked that my part was sung clearly, slowly and
accurately."
(I liked...) "the chance to go through at 2 speeds."
(I liked...) "that I could hear my part, that the orchestra and
chorus was softer."
(I liked...) "the fact that I could hear my part distinctly, but
still could hear the other parts in relation to it."
(I liked...) "the fact that the more difficult sections were
reviewed separately at a slower pace; it was helpful."
(I liked...) "the slower version of the difficult runs."
(I liked...) "orchestra and choral background."
(I liked...) "hearing my part more prominently but with other parts."
(I liked...) "having the soprano part more audible, with other parts and orchestra softly in
the background, to get a sense of the entire piece."
"The notes were clear and on target, except in a couple of spots. Rhythmically, it was pretty
accurate. It was useful to follow as well as to sing along. It improved my learning curve
tremendously."
(I liked...) "random access."
"I rehearse difficult passages slowly and then at tempo. Also rehearse by saying (reading)
the words."
"I found it the most useful for entrances which are, sometimes, difficult in terms of finding
the note."
(I liked...) "hearing my part and tempo."
(I liked...) "the inclusion of focus on difficult passages plus the entire movement."
(I liked...) "the chance to review at my own pace and on those sections I wanted to work on.
Liked slower pace of difficult sections."
(I liked...) "the slower speed of critical sections."
"Having orchestral parts important to familiarize myself with entrance cues."
"It would have been more helpful if I could have found the time to actually use the CD along
with the score. As it was I listened to the CD while driving the car."
"I generally learn my music quickly and without outside aids. On tough pieces, or where I must
miss a large number of rehearsals, it would be helpful."
"I learn music best by ear & it is helpful to me to review without pressure - notes/passages
which were particularly difficult for me to get in rehearsal."
"Basically, I knew the notes (from having sung it twice previously). So I found singing with
the CD I have, (with full orchestra and all parts singing) was more helpful to me."
"I would be able to hear difficult rhythms and/or notes sung correctly as often as I needed to."
"Needed assistance with pitch, rhythm, pronunciation."
"It was extremely helpful in learning the notes, the rhythm and the pronunciation. I learn best
when I can hear the part over and over again. It was an easy way to learn, since I could listen
in my car."
(I liked...) "tenor was easy to hear in relation to orchestra and other voice parts. Isolated
difficult sections was helpful in conjunction with full section choral speed."
"It was very good in helping with sustained phrasing and entrances, specifically for my part."
(What I liked was...) "First, able to hear the piece as a whole. Since I played the CD mostly
in the car, I became very familiar with the piece."
