What's New In 2010 & 2011

Latest announcements are at the top and earliest at the bottom.

  1. 10/14/11: New service: Transposing audio file. Up until recently, it was next to impossible to transpose a recorded audio file such as a .wav or mp3 file without speeding up the tempo or affecting the sound quality. If you have a karaoke CD for instance, and it isn't in the right key for you, you have to either sing it in the original key or trash it if it is out of your range. Now you can have it transposed into a comfortable key for you without changing the tempo or affecting the quality of the audio, except for extreme cases.
  2. 10/10/11: Music lessons using Skype have now begun. These lessons are still one-on-one, but after we work out any potential bugs we will be testing it for possible online multi-student classes.
  3. 11/17/10: Two voice students have recorded songs: 13 year old Calyn Lutz sings "Best Day", and 14 year old Alyssa Golden sings "Only Hope". Also, KelC (Kelsey Cronauer) has released another single from her upcoming "Get Branded" CD, titled "Wayward Friend", written by Frank Zelasny/Joggyn Smyler, released on Captain Blue Records.
  4. 10/3/10: Two of Kelsey Cronauer's songs for her upcoming CD "Branded", have been released. Hear and download them.
