Prima Vista

For choir leaders

Rehearse the music, not the notes.

Add your choir's music once. Every singer opens their own part on their phone, hears it and sings it at their own pace between rehearsals. Rehearsal can then be about blend, words and expression.

Notice board · 1 new message

An example: the choir's next programme, printed for the audience and on an alto's phone. The choir is a placeholder; the pieces are in the free library.

Your own part

The same music. Each singer their own part.

You add the piece once. The sopranos open it on the soprano part and the basses on the bass part, with the rest of the choir quieter behind them. The tempo can be slowed, and a hard passage can be taken again and again.

How to get started

Added on Monday, practised by Thursday.

It is all done in the app and takes a few minutes. If you have the music as a file, or take it from the free library, the choir can start practising the same evening.

  1. Monday

    You create the choir

    Sign in and choose Create a choir under Choirs. You become the choir's administrator and can give others the same role.

  2. You add the programme

    The pieces go in as MusicXML, which MuseScore, Sibelius and Finale save, or come from the free library of 98 works.

  3. You share the link

    The invite link goes to the choir. Each singer chooses their part when they join.

  4. Thursday

    Rehearsal

    The singers have heard their parts at home. Rehearsal can be about blend, words and expression.

Only paper scores?

The scanner that reads printed music is open to invited testers. Write to us and we will look at the music together.

About copyright

Only add music the choir has the right to use. A choir's music is visible only to its members, and the works in the free library are free to sing and share.

What's in the choir's room

The choir gets a room of its own in the app. The programmes are there in the order the choir sings them, with what you agreed at rehearsal.

The singers

Made for the whole choir, not just those who read music.

Nothing to install
Prima Vista opens in the browser and can be added to the home screen like an app.
Large and easy to read
The typeface was chosen to stay clear for those who find small print hard to read.
Works offline
A piece that has been opened once can be practised on the bus or at the cottage.
The microphone does not record
Pitch is worked out on the phone. The voice is not saved and is sent nowhere. How we handle data (in Swedish)
In Swedish and English
Each singer chooses their own language.

What does it cost?

Nothing, for now.

Prima Vista is being built together with its first choirs, and singers' own practice will always be free.

If choirs are ever charged, you will hear well in advance.

Would you like to try it with your choir?

A choir takes a minute to create. If you would like help with your first programme, write a few lines about the choir and what you are singing now.
