Choral Rehearsal CD and MP3 Download
25,000 Choral Singers use ChoraLine Every Year
To Help Learn Their Choral Part
Sing Your Notes Perfectly
"Since I have been using ChoraLine, I sing with more confidence and experience
a higher level of achievement and enjoyment"
Choral music has specific notes and words written for each SATB Voice Part(Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)
and these are shown on seperate lines in the sheet music called a vocal score:
To really enjoy singing in your choir you need to learn and rehearse your SATB Voice Part so you are singing the right words at the right pitch at precisely the right time.
Choral directors are very appreciative when singers have taken the time to learn their voice parts as this means they can focus on directing the whole choir rather than spending valuable rehearsal time on teaching individual sections their words and notes.
It does take time and dedication to know your part well and ChoraLine makes this an enjoyable way to achieve this aim.
We have put together a free guide called 'Learning Your Voice Part' which you can read and print off now if you wish:

The Road Not Taken
In Praise of Singing
The narrator (Martin Muncaster, also of the BBC) provides verbal cues throughout the piece to remind you where you are using bar numbers and rehearsal letters.
- The narrator calls out to let you know when you are to come in and then to 'cue' your entry.
- Each voice is represented by a musical instrument (soprano/flute, alto/oboe, tenor/French horn, bass/bassoon) making it easy to follow and fine to use any edition of the vocal score.
- A narrator guides you with 'verbal signposts' (using bar numbers and rehearsal letters) to ensure you don't get lost.
- ChoraLine highlights your part clearly and prominently.
- Hear and assimilate the music so it becomes second nature to sing.
- Rehearse in time with the music and learn at your own pace.
Use the balance control on your stereo (or the graphic equaliser on your computer) to enhance or diminish your voice part. Have your vocal line quite loud to start with and when you feel you know your part, test yourself by turning it right down. The 'verbal signposts', other parts and backing music remains audible at the normal level.
- Focus on challenging sections by going over and over specific parts of a movement
- Use as a 'pitch cue' for your vocal entry.
- Practice hitting the notes until you are perfect.
