Of course after I thought about the video and then read the requirements the first question I had was … the requirements say that headphones or external speakers are required but in the video he was not using either one! So was he using AirPlay or BlueTooth or was is “just” a demo?

Paul,
Glad you’re also excited about the work we’re doing! In the studio we used for filming I could mostly hear the accompaniment and metronome, but it was a sub-par experience as a performer (or student). When demoing in other situations, I’ll always use a sound system. When we have students try it out, we provide headphones and it’s such a positive experience that we felt it’s really important to have the extra boost for use.

Hi James! Thank you so much for the response! I kind of figured that was the situation – you could kind of hear but not good enough for a student! Very interesting that you mention using headphones…. I’ve wondered about doing this in the past but I figured that it would not allow the student to hear themselves well enough. So what kind of headphones are you guys suggesting? Just little ol’ ear buds that students would be using on their iPod’s/iPad’s anyways?

The iPhone lanyard is a really good way to balance the accompaniment and still hear yourself singing or playing, but we want to finalize things with our testing folks before officially stating what we find to work best.
