CHORAL SINGERS NEW TO CHORALINE

ChoraLine voice part rehearsal CDs and MP3 files are learning tools, specifically created to help choral singers memorise their vocal line and practise between choir rehearsals.

How does ChoraLine work?

Please watch the brief film and listen to the more detailed audio clip which explains how ChoraLine works 

What are the Main Advantages of using ChoraLine?

• 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

 

Is ChoraLine Easy To Use?

A narrator explains at the beginning of the recording and provides an example.  He also provides advice and verbal signposts throughout the whole piece.

We are always delighted to receive emails and letters from Singers and are pleased to share some below:

"After having tried ChoraLine to learn the Messiah I have used it ever since for every piece we sing - it is brilliant!"

"I would just like to let you know how useful I found your wonderful learning CDs.  Our choir is working on 'Israel in Egypt' at the moment and I am using your CD for this as I have done for our previous six concerts"

 

Should I Choose a CD or an MP3 file to Download?

The content and quality of the CD and MP3 file are the same. The main advantage of the MP3 file is you can download and start practising right away.

If you are new to downloading MP3 files, please click here for tips and a step-by-step guide.

The MP3 zip file contains an introduction and example of how to use ChoraLine and every movement in the piece broken down into seperate tracks which flow one into the other and also let you skip straight to a specific track if you wish.

On the screen of your computer the Bar Numbers are shown so you can follow exactly where you are in the vocal score and they also display on your iPod/MP3 player.

Within the MP3 zip there is also a PDF file of the track listing (please see the example below for the Soprano voice part for The Messiah) which you can print off as sometimes it is easier to have a printed copy to use.

After your purchase has gone through you go straight to a 'download page' where you just have to click where it says 'DOWNLOAD' and the MP3 file saves direct to your computer.  If you do not wish to download right away, you also receive an email with a link so you can download at your convenience.

We are sure you will enjoy learning your voice part for Poulenc's Gloria and our best wishes for your performance
