Listen and learn

We've had beginners' lessons notations for a while now, but beginning this issue, I'm including audio on the site too! Now you can listen to each section of the lesson independently, sung at a reasonable pace to follow along while you read. You can also learn to sing in first, second, third and fourth speed!
