Life without a pianist?
For an aspiring singer with only QWERTY hands and no skill whatsoever to handle a piano, life can be difficult. My dear mother pointed me to a goldmine, aptly named Classical Karaoke. The site holds a collection of accompaniments to the usual stuff; you can find some of the most commonly sung works by well known composers, especially it seems from the classical and romantic era (only baroque I managed to find was Händel and Bach, and I got no matches for contemporary artists). Yes, the piano is rightout hideous, but I still think it is better than no piano at all. The only real complaint I have is that your only means of browsing the works is performing searches. Considering how little common agreement there is to russian ortography, or how ludicrously many misspellings there can be to an artists name, I would have appreciated an alphabetical listing of sorts, too. But me not complaining… listening to synthetic tuba singing Irrlicht. ROTFL.
