The way a choir member learns a part over a week, in short lessons: hear your line inside the whole sound, find your first note from the pianist's chord, fix the hard bars, put the guide down, and sing it through without stopping.

What the app listens for
Your notes on pitch, line by line: first with the guide, then on your own with the other parts. You pick your part, soprano, alto, tenor or bass, on one real four-part piece set in your own range, and the last lesson shows you how to learn any song's part the same way.
Up to three stars for the notes on pitch, and XP, with challenges along the way.The same take says it plainly, like "21 of 24 notes on pitch", with no stars or XP.
Singing safely
- Sing at an easy, medium-soft volume, not a whisper.
- If a note sits too high or low, sing it lightly, never louder.
- Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
The songs
- O Come, All Ye Faithful Latin hymn, 18th century; English words 1841; public domain. The four-part setting is our own.
