I'd start with an accompanist who works with singers - pay for their time at the accompanist rate to help teach you the notes, and to record the accompaniments for you on tape. I've worked in that role for other singers (though not for pay) when I've worked with them in scene or performance classes. My piano playing isn't that great, but my sightreading of vocal lines and rhythm are. I've found that most problems folks have are with tricky rhythms and entrances. The advantage of a live person over a recording or computer is the extra set of ears (focusing on musical errors), the ability to stop you when you make a mistake that needs to be corrected immediately (you might not catch it yourself), and the ability to work a small section over until it's right and won't go wrong again. I've yet to experience a computer or recording that can do that for a singer.
