Ward Choir runs on the director's PC over the chapel Wi-Fi. Singers open a web page on their phones, pick Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass, and hear their line in sync with everyone else — with the printed music scrolling and highlighting as they sing. No app to install, no accounts for singers, and nothing about your choir ever leaves your computer.
Ward Choir is being readied for ward and stake choirs. Leave your email and we'll let you know the day it opens.
Download the host app and double-click run.bat. It serves the console on your PC and a page for singers on the same Wi-Fi. All songs, recordings, programs and bookmarks are stored on that PC.
They open the address shown on the console, tap Singer / Accompanist, pick a part and put in an earbud. The director's Play starts every phone within a few milliseconds.
681 hymns and songs from the Church's library with separate voice parts, their printed sheet music with click-to-play, highlight and autoscroll, plus your own recordings — or the app writes the music for you.
This site holds only your email and whether your host subscription is current. Your choir, its songs and recordings never leave your computer, and rehearsals run with no internet at all.
Host as many choirs and programs as you like on your PC or Android phone. Cancel any time.
Singers never pay and never need an account — only the host does.
