Altos lost by Thursday

Choir singers forget alto lines between Thursdays. Rehearsals restart the same bars weekly.

1. The problem

Community choirs rehearse weekly while parts evaporate between sessions. Altos guess notes, tenors drift sharp, directors repeat bars endlessly. Practice tracks scatter across emails and drives. New members drown fastest. The hardest part is part-specific practice at home. A recording might mix all voices uselessly. That uncertainty makes it hard to progress beyond warm-ups.

What people are saying

“Our altos forget parts weekly and rehearsals stall. I need part tracks singers can loop at home.”

2. What exists

Chorus Connection, Groupanizer and email attachments share choir music, while singers practice alone blindly. Management suites price for large choirs. An attachment might arrive, yet part isolation stays manual. There is little help with per-part practice tracks plus loop tools for community choirs.

3. The solution

The solution could be a harmony keeper for community choirs. It could split songs into learnable part tracks automatically. It could loop tricky bars at slow speeds. Directors could assign tracks per singer. The goal would be Thursdays that blend from the downbeat.
