Library - Sight Singing & Recording

Students can now record audio assessments in Auralia! This is perfect for sight singing drills, keyboard and piano tests, and developing imitation and improvisation. You can even use it for submitting performance recordings for entrance exams, sight-reading or sight-transposition questions.
