Description
There is a long tradition of singing in four part harmony, but the practice is quickly dying away. The purpose of this app is to make it fun and easy for people to learn how to sing these songs in parts again. It’s actually not a hard skill to develop, and with a little effort the tradition can be revitalized before it dies away.
Using the app is simple:
- Select a song to practice by choosing it from the menu.
- Mute or unmute any part by tapping the S (soprano), A (alto), T (tenor), or B (bass).
- Quickly move forward or backwards through measures in the song by swiping left or right.
- Adjust the tempo of the song by grabbing the tempo in the corner and expanding it to the left to increase the tempo, or down to decrease the tempo.
- Pause and unpause by tapping the pause/play button at the top of the screen.
App Features:
- Isolate each part (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) so that you can easily learn a part individually.
- Mute/unmute each part to listen to the different parts in any combination you like.
- Follow along with traditional music notation. Helpful for those who already read music, and can help those who don't to quickly learn!
- Adjust the tempo at any time while practicing.
- Pause, rewind, and retry a segment you just can’t get.
- Over 70 total songs included - choose from Amazing Grace and other hymns, Christmas and Easter songs, and patriotic songs!

Ratings and Reviews
Promising, but too pricey
This is a promising app. It's great to hear each individual part for hymns. However, $1 per song is ridiculous, considering these are just midi files active could make with the free program Noteflight! Songs should be somewhere around 10 for $1. There's another pop song harmonization app out there that is more worth it at $1 per song... Because it has real singers singing the words and you have three choices for each singer: on, off, or low volume. Please lower the price for songs!!
Developer Response ,
The old version of this app had only a few in-app purchases, which were for large bundles of songs, so it was more than 10 for $1. But we have since lowered the price to be everything for $1, so that should do it :) $1 per song would be a total rip-off...
Terrific Learning Tool
Does a great job of letting me hear the voices independently. Tempo control helps. The hymns are beauty filled. The printed score is a bit crowded by selection icons. I would like to read ahead on the lyrics while I sing. Reminds me of TouchPress’
App for Beethoven’s Ninth, where you can toggle orchestras while following the score on screen. I hope to see development of this fine app.
Updated
I was having issues getting no sound (not because it was muted!). It worked after I shutdown my phone and restarted it. Like being able to select just the alto.
