HELP WITH “NOTE BASHING”
Hutton & Shenfield Choral Society is a busy performing group and little time is wasted
in rehearsals. It is therefore necessary to undertake note bashing at home between
rehearsals.
There are a number of websites which help with this, some which can only be used
while you are in front of your computer, some which you can download and listen off-line
and there are also some commercial sites from which you can buy your own CD.
CDs can be purchased from Choraline
www.choraline.com
The free on-line sites have most (but not all) major choral works as midi-files played
in parts:
www.learnchoralmusic.co.uk (can be downloaded - with Windows Rt click and “Save Target
as…)
www.chorlia.net
Please select MP3 from the menu and select your part. You may decide
you wish to use the VS (Virtual Singer) technology. To do this you must first download
a plug in from myriad - full instructions are given on chorlia.net. The VS version
has the advantage that you can adjust the tempo. As with “learn choral music” above,
files can be downloaded to use off-line.
