About

Resonance Link

Read full description

**Resonance Link is currently available to members of Nick La Riviere's Rock Choirs (but will be available to other choirs soon, stay tuned!)** Resonance Link is the all-in-one member app for your choir. Everything your choir shares — the rehearsal schedule, announcements, sheet music, and practice tracks — lives in one place, on your phone or tablet. SHEET MUSIC, DONE RIGHT View your charts and switch to your part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) with a tap. Annotate, follow along with the built-in metronome and piano, and keep your set list at hand. Music is cached for offline use, so it's there even with no signal. PRACTICE TRACKS Play demo recordings with an adjustable mix — a balanced blend, or your own part brought to the front while the others stay quieter. Loop, switch versions, and practice anywhere. YOUR CHOIR ASSISTANT Ask the built-in assistant about your choir — when the next rehearsal is, what to wear, your solo details — and get a clear answer, read aloud if you like. STAY CONNECTED See the schedule, read announcements, sign up for solos, and reach your section leaders and directors. WORKS OFFLINE Your portal and sheet music stay available offline, so you're never without your music. Resonance Link is provided through your choir — your director sets up your account and content. Sign in with the email your choir has on file.
