Zoom
alternative

For music lessons

Zoom, Skype and Google Meet are great for conversations, but in a singing or piano lesson sound is what matters. I SING Room is a room made specifically for music lessons: voice and instrument without processing, a backing track with no delay and all of a teacher’s tools in one window.

What happens to the sound and to the lesson in a meeting app — and how it works in I SING Room.

Zoom, Skype, MeetI SING Room
VoiceNoise suppression and echo cancellation cut high notes and quiet singing. Everyone has to find and turn on “Original sound” themselves.Sound tuned for singing. With headphones the voice comes through clean, and the teacher adjusts the student’s sound.
Backing trackVia screen sharing: the student hears the music with the internet delay, and the voice falls off the beat.Plays on the student’s side with no delay — the teacher hears the voice right on the music. Tempo, key, loop a section.
Piano and sheet musicSeparate apps, files in a messenger, a camera over the keys.Piano of up to 88 keys with MIDI, shared sheet music with drawing, “Piano” mode.
For the studentAn app, updates, sound and video settings.Open the link in a browser — and sing. No sign-up, no payment.
After the lessonBacking tracks and sheet music in messengers, recordings on different drives.Files, recordings and students’ homework playlists — in your dashboard, with stats for every lesson.
When it’s time to switch

If you recognize this in your lessons

  • The student sings to a backing track, and you hear them out of sync and can’t judge the rhythm.
  • On high notes the voice “drops out” or cuts off.
  • Half the lesson goes on “turn on original sound”, “share your screen”, “send the sheet music again”.
  • Warm-ups, sheet music, the tuner and recordings are scattered across different apps.

Room removes these obstacles: you work with the voice and the music, not with settings. The first 15 days are free, with both modules and no bank card.

Question

Switching from Zoom

01Is it hard to switch from Zoom to I SING Room?

No. You get a permanent link to your room and send it to your students once. Students install nothing — they open the link in a browser, and you let them into the lesson.

02Doesn’t Zoom’s “Original sound” solve the problem?

Partly: every participant has to find it and turn it on, and a backing track shared via screen sharing still arrives with a delay. In Room clean sound is set up for the lesson from the start, and the backing track plays on the student’s side in sync.

03Is it safe for students?

Lesson video and sound travel directly between the teacher’s and the student’s browsers, encrypted (WebRTC), and are not recorded on our servers. The student enters only a name — no account, email or payment.

04How much does it cost after the trial?

Only the teacher pays; students are always free. The plans are “One subject” (voice or piano) or “Two modules”, monthly or yearly; current prices are shown in the dashboard before payment.
