PianoTrax

This app is a game changer. I am a voice teacher and being able to instantly download tracks for my students has been incredibly useful. The customer service is wonderful and so fast! (thank you Tom!) I could not run my small voice studio without PianoTrax! Having a yearly subscription is a wonderful addition. I also think this subscription would be very useful to college and high school students who plan to pursue a career in the arts. You can explore new songs, find new composers, get perfect audition cuts, and have top quality sound with the click of a few buttons! Highly recommend!

I use this app to record self-tapes — it’s helped me tremendously over the years to have the capacity to playback selections in different keys. They sometimes even have a shorter cut that is super useful when the submission requires 32 bars, etc. I enjoy the capacity to slow down speed in the app and wish it was easier to download the tracks to my laptop with the adjusted speed. These adjustments you still have to request when downloading, which I tend to override because of turnover time for auditions (I record on my phone and use my laptop for playback, so cannot use the app when recording). Otherwise, this has been super useful as a tool for auditions. I even use it to practice for live auditions, just so I can get a better feel for the accents and tempo markings in the score. Thanks for a reliable, flexible app with a huge selection of scores! Even though I use it for MT, I’ve even seen some opera on here…

I recently downloaded this app when I couldn’t find an accompaniment track for a song I was using for an audition. This really helps out because I’m always looking for obscure musical theater pieces for auditions and this app always seems to have tracks for them. Plus you can change the key and tempo which is also helpful. With the new update, you can find your place in a song much easier by using a slider bar rather than buttons that just move the song back or forward a couple seconds. This change is greatly appreciated and makes using the app much more enjoyable.
