What's in the practice studio

Your part, alone or in balance — solo the What a Friend We Have in Jesus soprano, alto, tenor or bass line, or mute your own part to test yourself against the others.
Tempo control — practice at 70–90% until the hard passage sits, then bring it home at speed.
A–B loop & count-in — isolate the tricky phrase and drill it with a click count-in.
The score on screen — notes highlight as they play, so you always know where you are.

How choirs use this page

Send this link to your section before Thursday rehearsal — every singer opens the same studio on their phone, no accounts, no app. It's the modern replacement for plunking parts on a piano into a voice memo.

Bring your own music

This studio was generated by MelodyWiz's score engine. The same engine turns your choir's sheet music — a PDF, a photo, even audio — into an identical practice studio in about a minute: upload your score here. Free daily conversions; rehearsal packs with per-part MP3s from $5.99.
