Welcome to our SINGORAMA Software Review. We review online music courses as a matter of practability for those who are seeking research of online music products. We review many such programs and pass along our findings. We only recommend the best of our products reviewed.Now it’s on to the review. SINGORAMA makes sevaral claims about their product such as; “easiest-to-follow system”, ” jam-packed with quality information”, and “soon you will be able to sing with the range and control of a professional” to name a few.

As is our custom with all reviews, our SINGORAMA Software Review, will test the clams of the course and apply several criteria of our own as we work our way through the program. We attemt to punch holes in bogus claims and apply criteria grounded in learning techniques that we KNOW work well. If courses make the grade that’s great but if they don’t then we say so.
Althought the SINGORAMA folks call it a ”learn to sing training package” we noticed it has 28 audio ‘lessons’ so we decided to review it as a ‘course.’
When I began taking a look at this course I wasn’t sure what to expect. After going through it with a degreed music educators eye I found several things that impressed me. The first thing that sticks out as a slam dunk toward meeting our review criteria is the emphasis on warmup exercises.
“Yuk”, you might think , exercises. Or maybe, “I came to this SINGORAMA Software Review to find an easier way.” I understand and have done my share of avoiding exercises in the past too. But here’s something I’ve learned, and obviously the SINGORAMA folks have too, over the years. If you don’t warm up the ‘instrument’ don’t expect it to ‘play’ in tune or with a warm rich tone.
I’m also an old (we won’t go into the Johnny Carson routine here of “How old ARE you?…but I did play with Doc Severinson once…how’s that for namedropping?) brass player too. I can recall how a cold mouthpiece just wouldn’t ‘buzz’ like a warm one and a cold instrument was almost impossible to tune. “Earth to self…the same goes for a voice.” If you don’t warm up the ‘pipes’ properly you’ll get a less than the desired result.
Our SINGORAMA Software Review discovered that SINGORAMA has come up with a very distinctive and effective warm up methodology. It’s not BORING….Yipeeeee. More importantly if used as prescribed it starts making a difference very quickly in the old voicebox. You start to notice less straining for high notes, an increase in range, and more control which translates into better pitch control. Voice fatigue becomes less noticeable the longer you use the system. The ‘exercises’ included take the user through the paces via activity based learning which meet one our prime criteria for learning.
The SINGORAMA Software Review also found an unique piece of software included that brought a smile to the lips of this old trombone player. They include a pitch (‘gotta’ have an ear to play ‘bone’) tool in the form of a software package called the Singorama Mini Recording Studio so that you can record and playback your voice right on your computer. You can also stay on pitch with the Virtual Piano or you can sing along with pre-recorded scales.
