The software, written in Max / MSP, aims to assist singing practice by providing&lt;br&gt;users with a visual substitute to their subjective auditory feedback. Under the guidance of their professional vocal&lt;br&gt;instructor, students can store in the software spectral representations of accurately produced sounds, creating&lt;br&gt;personalized Reference Sound Banks (RSBs). When students practice on their own, the software can be put into&lt;br&gt;practice, assisting them to match their current Voice Spectrum Harmonic Content to the stored RSBs one note at a&lt;br&gt;time. Results of a preliminary evaluation showed that, when using this software, students achieve a larger number&lt;br&gt;of accurately produced sounds in a smaller amount of time.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
