I have been toying with a idea for years that I approximately call
Multi-Lingual Singing Teacher = MLST. It seems that it should be
the minimum requirement for all children on earth who reach the
age to begin receiving government education support.

The program mentioned above is there said to have more of the
requisits than any I have seen to date. I followed the thread
to the gopher in Switzerland and Belgium re: the Aria sound card
but I was really looking for more info, faq, -list, etc., about
the VoicePower software from GlobaLink. I didn't find more.

I would sure like to hear more discussion of Voice Power, even
to the extent of proposing a new specific news group, generic.
