In the digital age we live in, "the integration of Information and Communication Technologies in education is connected with new interactive applications focused on the possibilities of participation, innovation and creativity" (Lee & Owens, 2000, as mentioned in Poulakis, p.232, 2017). The use of ICT in the educational process should be integrated in the courses and focus on the expression of a holistic approach to learning through properly designed digital applications.

The integration of ICT in the educational process facilitates new strategies and forms of teaching, such as online and blended learning, contributing to a deeper understanding and consolidation of concepts (VanderArk & Schneider, 2012). In the field of music education, the development of interactive applications improves teaching and understanding of specific musical concepts (Pagge & Panagiotakou, 2011).

The interactive application "VoiceTutor" aims at the correct vocal placement of Soprano choir singers with the correct use of articulation and facemask during their study. The phonemes and the mask are captured in the application according to the system of the international phonetic alphabet in Greek (Zervanos, 2015).

The interface contains:

1. A staff with the Soprano range showing the note of the phoneme activated by its name.
2. Keys that activate the corresponding sounds. Under each note of the stave, there are 5 keys in vertical order that correspond to the 5 phonemes of the Greek language: mi, ma, me, mo, mou.
3. Pictures of how the facemask is formed (mouth shape-face expression).
4. 4. An image showing the oral-pharyngeal-nasal cavity and its corresponding placement in relation to the mask.
5. Information on the placement and use of the mask.
6. A window in which the camera is shown (if any) so that the chorister can compare his mask with that of the application image.
7. A tool for recording and playing selected phonemes.

Under each note there is the Greek pentophonic system (α, ε, ι, ο, ου) with the addition of the consonant "μ" and "ν" for the high vocal area (Kontogeorgiou, 2012).

Through this application choir singers can study individually at any time the melody taught by the conductor, observing with more precision the general principles of use of the voice in the song. The specific process aims to improve and technically support choir singers helping them to acquire singing technique and sing with confidence.
