Yes, singing to simple chord changes on the beat can also be a way to make sure as you focus on your voice that you’re actually singing with good pitch accuracy!
Stem Tab… Nice looking app you have there.

One middle step that fits between practicing the parts separately and putting them together: strip the piano down to just a chord on beat one of each bar while you sing the full vocal line, then add the real rhythm back a little at a time once the words feel automatic. That way the voice stays the priority while the hands learn to stay out of its way.

Interesting indeed… how is your tool different than the Moises app?

If you want an accompaniment-only version of a song you’re learning, browser-based AI stem separation (Demucs-based tools; we build a small online vocal remover) can split it into vocals and instrumental for personal practice. Then you can focus on technique before putting voice and fingers together.

Just remember to practice playing and singing separately until the playing is just part of your arms.

After doing a Google search for "tips for singing and playing the piano at the same time" I came across this post of yours – thank you.
Not a very skilled pianist but I'm a 'background player' to our lead guitarist and only recently I've become more keen to use my voice (and work on my voice, which has "good pitch but lack of power"). Now I feel that I could improve my singing far more easily than improving my piano playing… Decisions, decisions! 🙂

Lighten and pop your words. I've always love this song, btw… I did it for my "jury" as a vocal student in college. I like to use it as part of my warmup, but again, you need to learn to use your consonants differently to get it even better and better FOR your voice.

Good luck with my suggestions… let me know if they help you conquer this multitasking!
