Note Bashing Rehearsal Aids

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, but most where you can download and listen off-line and make your own CDs.  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/index1.html (can be downloaded – with Windows Rt click and “Save Target as…)  Unfortunately copyright  music cannot be heard, but there is a wealth of other music.  

For some reason, the link is only working on he “h” of http etc, so click on that and it works


www.cyberbass.com

With Cyberbass, you can alter the speed of playback which helps with the learning. It appears not to work with Windows 8 but it does with Windows 7 & 10.

Subscription based:

http://www.johnfletchermusic.org This site has many works copyright and non-copyright. Individuals can gain free access to non-copyright music but need to register.  For access to copyright music, to cover John Fletcher’s own PRS payments, there is now a modest subscription fee of £10 p.a.   The instructions on the site are very clear and if you have paid the subscription, you can download your part for your own individual use only.  All of the music from Carols for Choirs books 1-5 are on the site as are many of the Rutter Christmas songs we use
