Description

WinSingad is software for singing training. It started life as SINGAD, which stands for "SINGing Assessment and Development", running on a "BBC micro" [1] and it was designed for use in the "primary school" to develop and assess children's singing pitching skills.

It was later ported to the "Atari" range of computers [2] to take advantage of "MIDI" and more recently to Windows [3] SINGAD enabled the pitching strategies used by children to be explored and compared with adult singers [4] and its use for real-time visual feedback in singing training was beneficial [5]

WinSingad displays

WinSingad offers displays of:

In addition, a "web camera" window is often placed on screen with the camera positioned at the singer's side to provide a side view to enable posture to be viewed. In effect, this is a 90 degree mirror which gives a clear indication of spine alignment.
