Joan, very interested in IBM's Speech viewer. Have you used it?
Issue: My 20 son (w/down syndrom) wants to sing (wants to sing a whole
bunch!!!) but, he does not understand and sings everythin in one tone. I
have tried to explain/demonstrate to him, but to not avail. I am wondering
if he could actually see how his voice "looks" with varying tones, would he
then be able to adjust his own tones to sound more pleasant.
At present I just explain that like mom, we sing because it makes us feel
good. :)) But, he wants to sing and have it sound good. I might add
that
in the past 10 years, this and be able to read have been his main request
of
life. So, how is a mother not to try???
Thanks and sorry for the rambling, Nettie with the Mom hat on this AM.
