 * @class
 * @classdesc This is the prototype of the Singer for each Turtle component. It is responsible
 * for the music related actions of the Turtle, including playing them while using utility functions
 * in utils/musicutils.js.
 *
 * @todo move music related states from logo.js to here eventually.
 * As of now, the state variables are completely present in logo.js. To ensure modularity and
 * independence of components, Logo should contain members only related to execution of blocks while
 * the logic of execution of blocks should be present in respective files in blocks/ directory,
 * which should eventually use members of this file and turtle-painter.js to proceed.
 *
 * Private methods' names begin with underscore '_".
 * Unused methods' names begin with double underscore '__'.
 * Internal functions' names are in PascalCase.
