How to make a rehearsal track
- Drop the PDF your director sent, or take a photo of the page in your folder.
- Pick the page. It is read in about ten seconds.
- Choose your voice, slow it down, and change the key if it sits too high or too low.
- Download your part as MP3, or keep playing it in the browser.
Learn your choir part before rehearsal
Listen to your line a few times slowly, then at full speed, then sing along. Turn on note names to see each note's name under it. When you know the line, play all the voices and listen for how yours fits in.
Every week, with the app
The ScanSing app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android keeps every piece you scan, plays your line louder than the rest of the choir and shows where you sing off. It is free while it is in beta.
For choir directors
Scan the piece once and share the MP3 of each voice with your singers, or send them this page so each of them can make their own. Only use scores you are allowed to copy, such as public domain editions from CPDL or your choir's own licensed copies.
Questions
Which voices does it split?
Every part the score names: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, divisi lines and accompaniment. Pick one, or play them all.
Is it really free?
Yes. Without an account you can read one page a day, any page of the file. Sign in with an email and you get 20 pages a month, no card. More pages are on the pricing page.
Can I make the track slower?
Yes. The player in the browser goes from 50% to 120% of the written tempo.
My part is too high. Can I change the key?
Yes. Move the piece up or down, or pick your voice type and let it suggest a key that fits.
Does it sing the words?
No. Your line is played with an instrument sound, which is easy to sing along with. The words stay on the printed PDF.
Can it read handwritten music?
No. It is built for printed, engraved scores. Clean PDFs, scans and flat photos read best.
Are my scores kept?
Files and results are deleted after about an hour and are never used to train models. See the Privacy Policy.
