About

Korio

Korio is the app a choir runs on — for the conductor, the committee and every singer. Scores and part audio, together Open a piece and its score is on screen with the recording playing underneath. Each singer's own part is preselected. Skip back ten seconds, slow the tempo, scroll the score — the audio keeps going. Recordings continue while the screen is locked, so you can listen on the way to rehearsal. Rehearsals and attendance Rehearsal dates, place and programme in one calendar. Attendance by QR code at the door or marked by hand; the report shows who came, who was excused and who doesn't. Optional: verify that the QR was scanned at the rehearsal venue. Stage plans and concert programme Place the choir on stage by dragging singers into a curved layout, one plan per section of the concert. Every singer sees the programme piece by piece with their own spot and who stands next to them. Print the programme or the concert booklet from the same project. Dues and the cash book Dues periods, exemptions, payments and balances. Income, expenses and receipts in a cash book the treasurer keeps and the committee reads. Currency follows the choir. Announcements that reach the right people Send to the whole choir, a voice section or a project cast. Push notifications with a choir-specific sound; unread items stay on the home screen until seen. Everyone sees their own work, nobody sees more Conductor, administrator, treasurer, singer: each role has its own screens and permissions. One account can belong to several choirs. Works offline, speaks four languages Scores and audio you have opened stay on the device. The interface is available in English, Turkish, German and Italian, with choir terminology that fits each language. Getting in Korio is set up for a choir by its conductor or committee. If you are a singer, ask your conductor for an invite. If you lead a choir and want Korio, request it at thekorio.com. Privacy Your choir's data belongs to your choir. Location is used only at the moment of attendance and stored as a distance, never as a route. Photos used for importing member lists are read on the device and never uploaded.
