Rehearsal Aids
ChoraLine : We have set up a 20% discount with ChoraLine for any members wishing to buy rehearsal material (CDs or downloaded to pc, phone etc). See ChoraLine discount for details and contact Maggie for any further information. Below we provide links for free materials on-line.
Choralia: Sometimes there is a problem with on-line Choralia, in which case I suggest downloading. An alternative I found is to pay a small donation to use without ads. With Choralia it is possible to change the speed at which they run using the hare or tortoise. It gives three choices:
to hear your voice alone (with a metronome when your voice is not singing);
to hear your voice emphasised with other voices (your voice part can be emphasised by moving towards the big button using the gadget below the hare and tortoise)
to hear all voices at the same emphasis.
