Practice Aids

Innovative practice aids from Carus, available as mp3 download or CD (Carus Choir Coach) or app (carus music), offer ideal support and help choral singers to quickly learn new repertoire: they contain first class recordings with the individual voice part amplified, making learning by listening much easier. In addition pieces can be practiced at slower tempo, permitting effective work on complicated passages. carus music, the choir app, also offers a well laid-out music text from Carus vocal scores with a marker feature in the software enabling users to follow the music. With Vocal scores XL we are offering major choral works in reader-friendly large print. Vocal scores XL will help all choral singers who find reading small-sized notes and text strenuous, and will contribute to relaxed singing.
