Learn your part at home, so rehearsal is for singing.

phoir plays your choir part on its own or louder than the others, at the speed you need, as many times as you need. Your director sees who has practised before rehearsal starts.

Pilot it with your choir How it works

For amateur choir directors and their singers. Singers never pay.

Phone recordings were never meant for this

How most choirs learn parts today

A section leader records each part on a phone in rehearsal.
The recordings go round the group chat, and get lost in it.
One line is hard to pick out of the room, and you cannot slow it down.
Rehearsal time goes on teaching notes, part by part, while everyone else waits.

With phoir

The director uploads the score once, as MusicXML or MIDI.
Every singer hears their own line clearly, with the others quieter.
Slow it down, loop the hard bars, speed it back up.
Before rehearsal, the director can see who is ready and who is not.

What it does

Your part, louder

Pick your line and phoir plays it clearly, with the other parts quieter underneath — or on its own, or with everyone except you, so you can sing it into the gap.

Slower, and again

Bring the tempo down until the notes make sense, then back up. Loop the four bars that keep catching you out as many times as it takes.

Practice that counts

phoir keeps track of how long each singer has actually played their piece, and lets them say when they can sing it.

Readiness at a glance

Before rehearsal, the director sees every singer against every piece, grouped by part — who has started, who is confident, who has not opened it.

Files you already have

MusicXML from MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico or Finale — compressed or not — and MIDI files. Upload once; every singer gets every part.

On the phone in your pocket

Nothing to install. It runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, and can be added to the home screen like an app.

How it works

The director starts a choir and uploads the pieces you are learning, with the date each one is needed by.
They share the invite link in the group chat the choir already uses.
Each singer joins and picks their voice part. phoir finds that line in every piece.
Singers practise at home, on their own part, at their own speed. A few days before a piece is needed, anybody who has not practised it yet gets one email reminder.
The director opens the readiness view before rehearsal and spends the time where it is needed.

What it does not do

It is worth knowing before you start:

phoir plays the notes with a plain, clear tone, not a recording of singers. The words are shown under your line as you go.
It needs the score as MusicXML or MIDI. It cannot read a PDF or a photo of sheet music — most notation programs export MusicXML in one step.
Repeats are played as written, once through. Use the loop to go over a section again.

Pilot it with your choir

Start a choir, upload one piece you are rehearsing now, and send the link to your singers. A choir can hold five pieces at a time for free, and singers never pay.
