Hee, I am not sure whether E would stay on key better singing with someone because the control-freak tendencies mean that she will not allow me to sing with her. And when someone sings, she'll stop singing herself. D calls her a diva-in-training :)
E's been going to daycare for a year, but only two days a week -- maybe that's not often enough? I think in general she tends to clam up the more people there are. She doesn't object to speaking, exactly -- when I ask her to say things, like "Thank you, teacher" or "I want the blanket, please" to her teachers, she totally does, but for whatever reason she doesn't initiate it on her own. Reason's tendency to be a greeter sounds really cute.
So that travel potty seat doesn't fit in the conventional way -- in particular it was a bit weird to use it after Bjorn (don't know what kind you have now) because it doesn't slot in the way Bjorn does and feels curiously un-anchored. As long as it's on the toilet, though, the nonslip surface on the bottom should keep it from sliding around. (Although it's possible you may have a really small toilet? I've only run into one or two toilets that it really didn't fit, both because they were too small.) It was my friend who recced it, so if you see her again you might ask her about it.
Good luck with the training! Glad it's going well. Yeah, I think it's a lot easier to split it -- I figure she'll figure out the nighttime part eventually...
