Learn to Sing Mendelssohn Hymn of Praise

It is the attention to detail and the quality of the ChoraLine recordings (produced by Lloyd Silverthorne a top BBC sound engineer) which makes ChoraLine such a pleasure to use:

• A narrator guides you with verbal signposts (using bar numbers and rehearsal letters) to ensure you don't get lost and to 'cue' your entry  
• There is also a track listing (on the back of the CD cover or within the MP3 zip file) which lists the bar numbers and rehearsal letters, you can follow exactly where you are on the ChoraLine recording and in the vocal score
• Hear and assimilate the music so it becomes second nature to sing
• The vocal score becomes so much easier to follow for those of us who are not so proficient at sight reading
• 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
• Focus on challenging sections by going over and over specific parts of a movement
• Use as a 'pitch cue' for vocal entry
• Practice hitting the notes until you are perfect
• Far more enjoyable than unaccompanied note-bashing
• Be prepared, having learnt your part in advance of rehearsal
• Sing with more confidence and experience a higher level of achievement 

 

 

We are always delighted to receive letters and emails from singers saying how useful they have found ChoraLine and also suggestions for new works where ChoraLine would assist in learning their notes:
