# voicetrainer
MIDI voice exercises made convenient

## About
I'm a singer and I have a disability that prevents me from using a keyboard (musical or otherwise). Since speech recognition and making music are a really bad combination, I could pretty much only do voice exercises during my singing lessons, which frustrated me to no end.

So I started thinking about a solution. What I want from this is an exercise that I can easily change into a different tempo or key. It should be trivial to pause, repeat, or change the parameters. Everything has to be operable by mouse alone. And it should be quality MIDI, because I can't stand the sinus tone that most MIDI sequencers emit. Also, I want sheet music. Beautiful sheet music, preferably with lots of notes (the textual kind). And it shouldn't be hard to add new exercises, or at least not a lot of dictation work.

It says something about me that I'd rather dictate code one letter at a time for four days straight than click pause and play a few times in a big MIDI file, but here it is, so you won't have to repeat the feat. Enjoy!
