Read full descriptionHide full description
ChoirZone is your personal practice studio for choir singing. Bring your score, learn your part, and walk into rehearsal ready. PRACTICE STUDIO See the sheet music and hear each voice at the same time, always in sync. Solo your part, mute the rest, slow it down, and loop the tricky four bars until they finally stick. Works with PDF and MusicXML scores. MARK UP YOUR MUSIC Add notes and musical stamps exactly where you need them, or draw freehand with your finger or Apple Pencil. Read continuously or page-by-page, like a book. TRAIN YOUR EAR AND VOICE On-device exercises that actually listen to you: interval training, sight-reading, rhythm, and a "drift" exercise that shows when you're slipping off pitch. Check your vocal range, warm up, and record yourself to listen back. All pitch detection runs privately on your device. YOUR WHOLE CHOIR IN ONE PLACE Share the set list, see who's coming to rehearsal, and point everyone at the exact score. Your singers arrive already knowing the notes β so rehearsal is for making music, not teaching parts. FREE TO PRACTISE ChoirZone is free for your own practice. Running a choir with members is available as a subscription. Made by choir singers, for choir singers. Support: support@choirzone.com Privacy: https://choirzone.com/privacy
EarRing
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ear Ring is ear training built for real playing, not multiple-choice quizzes. Listen to a prompt, then sing or play it back on your own instrument β the app listens through your microphone and tells you, note by note, whether you got it right. How it works: Pick Random Notes for open-ended pitch practice, or Diatonic Arpeggios to drill triads built from your chosen key and scale β major, minor, or diminished quality follows the scale automatically. Choose your key, scale (Major, Natural Minor, Dorian, or Mixolydian), note range, and how many notes make up each test. Tap Start, and the app plays a chord to set the key, then the test sequence. Play it back. Correct notes turn green on the staff; wrong notes turn red and the app replays the same test so you can try again β no fumbling with buttons mid-exercise. Built for real instruments: Works with piano, guitar, saxophones, trumpet, and clarinet, with correct transposition so you always see notes written the way your instrument reads them. A live tuner-style meter and note-detection tuning (sensitivity, stability, warm-up) let you dial in your microphone for reliable pitch detection. Track your progress: Every session and every test is saved β see your streak, your average score, and drill into any past session's note-by-note results. Make it yours: Adjust tempo, retry limits, wrong-note pause, the intro sound before each test, key signature display, and more, all in Settings.
