Lesson Preparation
Google Drive Shared Folder:
Each student will have access to a shared Google drive folder. The folder will contain
subfolders with the following categories:
1. Lesson Recordings (video)
2. Sheet Music (PDF’s)
3. Accompaniment Track
4. Practice Journal
5. Repertoire List
Sheet Music
​
Websites for Sheet Music: musicnotes.com, scribd.com, amazon, Hal Leonard
1. Students are expected to purchase sheet music for every song they sing, or procure
legal copies.
2. PDF copies of each song, lyric sheet, and/or chord chart in the correct key must be
uploaded to the google drive folder before each lesson. Do not email, text or airdrop
sheet music. The only exception to this is if we choose a song during lesson time. If you
do not know what key, make your best guess and we will figure out the rest in the
lesson.
3. Students must be able to write on their music. If you have a tablet or iPad and can
write on the music that is great. Otherwise print your music and you can write on it in
pencil.
4. Sheet music, lyrics, or chord charts on small screens (phones) is not allowed.

Accompaniment
Websites/Apps for accompaniment: Appcompanist, Kara Fun, YouTube

They can choose from the following options:
​
1. Karaoke tracks (youtube, or Karafun)
2. Piano Accompaniment Tracks (youtube, or hire an accompanist to record)
3. Live accompaniment. You may also bring an accompanist with you to your lessons
4. All accompaniment tracks must be uploaded to the google drive folder the night
before your lesson. This includes full length and audition cuts.
