Note: Click on vocal part, then use the player controls above the part listings.

Note: you can control the speed (slower might be better when first learning your part). Change the value in the yellow SPEED box to the right of the player controls. DO NOT PRESS ENTER or the page will reload. After changing the speed (entering 75 will make the playback 25% slower), simply click on your vocal part and click the PLAY icon on the player controls.
