Soundslice Music Player
The Soundslice Music Player is a state-of-the-art music notation rendering engine which provides responsive music notation that displays and plays on all devices. The player is used in courses that have SingingTrax, where students are required to learn music repertoire as well as in some courses that have sight singing examples, such as our Georgia All State Chorus prep courses.
