Lessons
- 1.Grace Notes, Staccato, Accent
4 min · Three ways to attack the same note.

Where to practise
Nothing in Suede Sing measures this, so the self-check is your ear and your recording. What it shows: That three articulations were produced on cue and sound different. Articulation is not detected.
No sessions in the recorder on this device yet.
Practice material
The exercises and songs play synthesized reference pitches: they supply the notes, not a recording of a singer demonstrating a technique. Record your takes in the recorder.

Work in a comfortable range and volume. Stop for pain, burning, sudden hoarseness, loss of range or a change in your speaking voice. These lessons teach practice decisions and stop rules; they don't diagnose or treat anything, and pitch readings do not assess vocal health. Persistent symptoms belong with a qualified clinician, not another attempt.
