Built for you
What your choir gets
Each voice, brought forward
Altos hear the alto line loud with the others soft underneath, so nobody learns the soprano tune by mistake.
In pilotSol-fa for the choir, staff for the organist
The same piece in tonic sol-fa for the singers and an engraved staff score for the organist or band, in any key.

FAQ
Questions we hear
Does it read our sol-fa books?
Yes. Printed and clear handwritten sol-fa both work, in subscript or Curwen octave marks. Anything StaffTonic is unsure of is shown to you before anyone sings it.
Can the organist get a staff copy in another key?
Yes. Pick a key and the staff score moves with it. The sol-fa stays the same; only the Doh changes.
Is it free for a church choir?
Yes. Hearing, practising and sharing are free. Photos and recordings have a monthly limit because those cost us to read.
