Learn to sing, line by line
Make focusing your learning on small parts of a song as easy as one-click
This doc helps you learn to sing a new song by training you to repeat — and then repeat, repeat, and repeat — a given part of a song until you have it just right. Whether you’re working on getting the pitch, tone, timing, or anything else right, repeating a section and working in small chunks through a song is a very effective in helping you learn a song quickly.

Mobile devices are finicky — you may need to hit “play” briefly on your phone’s Spotify app if you’ve paused the music for a few moments. This will bring the device back online and re-activate the play buttons in this doc.
A. Add and timestamp the lyrics
To sing along, you’ll first need to add the song’s lyrics and set each line’s time. Do this by:
1. Add lyrics: Finding the lyrics online and pasting it into the table. It should magically split into multiple rows!
2. Play: Click “Play from beginning”
3. Set time: When you hit the respective line, click the “Set” button on that row. It’ll record the timestamp.
⏲️ Seconds offset, to account for internet lag. Change this if timing seems constantly off
