"Innovative Learning for Choirs"
From Guy Loftman:
Using Cyberbass for Beethoven’s 9th practice.
(I have to use my laptop. It doesn’t work well on my obsolete Iphone.)
Go to Cyberbass.org, then major works, then Beethoven 9. It is broken down into 5 sections by measure numbers. The timer starts at zero for each section. There are listings for each choral part and each solo, and tutti (all). Select the section and part you are learning, SATB. You will be able to get pretty close to the measures you’re working on by going to the time for that or a nearby measure. You can then identify the start of measures you are studying, and go there with your cursor. I slow it down to a snail’s pace on Playback Speed for reviewing the passages that I find trickiest. Click here to view the Choral Parts on Cyberbass breakdown.
