Karaoke Party
Karaoke Party is a web 2.0 tool that allows you practice your singing on an online interactive karaoke application. This site allows you to sing your favorite songs and even challenge other people. This site also offers video singing lessons and warm-ups so students can practice at home.
This site is free to sign up for a username and password. There are many songs that are available with a free subscription. The star membership requires a small monthly fee and unlocks all the features. My action research is to analyze and assess students singing by using individualized video taped voice testing. This will help students become more responsible for learning their parts and it will force them to prove that they have been paying attention and working in class.
Karaoke party can help my students vocalize while they are at home. They are graded on their performance, which is similar to the individualized video taped voice tests that we do in class and they can compete against each other in a video game environment.

The analysis of the performance is done by using a pitch find and when you sing you can visually see if your pitch is to high or low. Finding and hearing the correct pitches is one of the most important skills a singer can learn and this site helps facilitate the ear training process. I love how it visually shows them their accuracy so that they can see what they need to do to score and sound better. Put your singing skills to the test and check out Karaoke Party!
This sounds really cool!!! I really like how you plan to use it in your classroom and that students can use it at home, or somewhere where they may be more comfortable, to try new things out. I also like the built in assessment with the pitch finder--it sounds like what i use for my guitar!
ReplyDeleteI actually use this for my reading classes. It makes them read, and have fun. It is always one of the most fun we have in class.
ReplyDeleteGreat introduction of the web tool. For the subject that you teach it sounds to be a great classroom tool as well. I appreciate how you will incorporate this with your students. I may need to try this out for myself.
