Thank you for visiting ChoralTech! We are devoted to improving choirs and their musical experience through application of technical and other tools. We hope you find them useful, and might be willing to help expand the library with a contribution.
Note: our site is still under construction. If you don't see what you want, or something doesn't work the way it should, please email us. Thanks!
Our Mission
To elevate the quality of choral music performance by providing rehearsal/study aids.
Special: Handel's "Messiah"
We've created a special page of MIDI/MP3 files for the use of choirs around the world who will be performing Handel's Messiah this season, whether in concert or as a sing-along. Please use them and spread the word! Thanks...
Our Intention
Anyone who has been involved in a choral or other musical group knows that preparation involves a basic level of learning the notes and rhythm (the "woodshed" period), followed (hopefully!) by a higher level where musicality and craft are the focus. We have found that audio tools built on the computer using MIDI and MP3 formats can be very helpful in getting choirs out of the woodshed and into the more fun aspects of choral performance.
In addition to shortening the "learning curve", these tools also have some spinoff benefits:
- They open the fun of choral music to people who might otherwise not participate because of a fear, real or imagined, of sight reading by providing a learning pathway for those who are auditory rather than visual learners; and
- They open the range of music that a group can attempt
We also plan to offer links to other web resources aimed at improving your choir and your choral experience!
