• 57 poems are now available, requests for new material are accepted, new texts are added regularly.

Elise Lefay, French soprano,
currently teaches languages and phonetics for singers at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and coached ensembles such as the BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Chorus and opera companies (Nevill Holt, Meantime, Goldopera).

What singers say:

''Elise's recordings are so clear, having the app is a bit like having a language coach in my pocket!''

''This app has changed the way I learn French songs. It helps memorise words, and saved me a lot of time''

''I can now practice my French on the tube or plane, that's amazing''
