“While the result isn’t a substitute for in-person choirs, My Choral Coach allows us to hear each singer individually, and to coach musicians on how they fit into the overall performance, even when they can’t hear their fellow singers.” – Tim Sharp
American Choral Directors Association in collaboration with MatchMySound™ and GIA Publications has created a highly innovative and user friendly web app for the choral community that aids in choral rehearsing and part-learning: My Choral Coach. My Choral Coach is a simple guided practice and choral management system that will keep choirs engaged and reaching their goals during this time of physical distancing and isolation.
My Choral Coach is easy to use and does not require software installation. The technical support staff is available to get you started from your desktop, laptop or mobile device. Continued customer support will ensure that your choir has the assistance they need for a great experience. The app is inexpensive, only $50 for ACDA members for a six-month period, and FREE for all choral singers in your choirs during this COVID-19 period.
