• Parent Portal: If you enrolled your child into a homeschool course, a Parent Portal option will appear in which you can access your child’s progress report and subscriptions.

An organization can be a private teacher, parent, school, choir, theater company or otherwise.

Your weekly goal, located on the Student Dashboard, is calculated based on how much time you spend learning (watching lesson videos, vocalizing with MP3s and taking quizzes/assessments) within the Vocal Gym. A recommended time has been preselected according to your current skill level. However, you are welcome to set a new goal at any time that best suits your personal vocal needs and objectives.

• 360 Minutes: Recommended for serious singers
