Learn your part using a rehearsal track for your voice part
Others are rehearsal tracks from Cyberbass, a collection of choral scores converted to MIDI format to play back on your computer. You can’t download the files, which are designed to enable you to practise your voice part while sat at your computer with your score in front of you. The sound isn’t beautiful, there’s no accompaniment and dynamics aren’t used – it’s a simple note bashing site. However, it is digitally precise in pitch and rhythm, and very helpfully you can slow the music down for difficult sections – perfect for difficult music.
Rather better are rehearsal tracks from Chord Perfect, though they don’t have as wide a range available. The voice parts are sung with the others in the background. You can slow the track down to help you learn the price, which is very useful.
