Where to find music to sing with?

Hi, 

Youtube had the artist & lyrics which is great for learning the song, but where can i find music without the artist singing? I believe Camille recommended NOT using karoke tracks. Where else can i find them? Thank you.

Also, I assume when we submit something for feedback it is NOT us singing along with the artist. Is that correct? If so, that also feeds into the question above. I"m looking for Don't Know Why, Be Ok, Girl on Fire, Bubbly to start.

The other option that I see is for me to do songs I can play on the guitart  (I'm fairly new and not very good but I can make it work).

I feel like I'm missing something here and I don't know what. Maybe most people who learn to sing already play the piano????

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Hi Suzanne,

You can definitely sing with karaoke tracks! For learning purposes, definitely sing with the artist. But once you're comfortable with the melody, a karaoke/instrumental track is perfect. You can even slowly reduce the lead vocal's volume using https://vocalremover.org/. 

You can submit for feedback with you singing over the artist, no problem! As long as we can hear a little of the track (for pitch reference) and your voice clearly, that's great. Otherwise, singing with a karaoke/instrumental track is good!

Perfect, thank you. I was feeling lost in regards to locating music.
