Learn your voice part with John Rutter's ChoirGuides!

ChoirGuides is an online tool to help singers learn their vocal parts, featuring a music library personally curated by composer John Rutter

Who's it for?

Singers

  • Use it on your own - you don’t need to be a member of a choir.

  • Have fun practising at home or just singing in the company of expert singers.

  • Sight-reading not your strong suit? It’s like standing next to the best singer in your section.

  • Can’t make it out to rehearsals? You can still sing with others!

Choir Directors

  • Speed up your choir’s learning. Singers can build confidence and skill between rehearsals.

  • Keep up singing in your choir during difficult times.

  • Facilitate virtual recordings. Singers can record their contributions, synchronised to the same backing-track. Each can choose what to hear while recording: full choir, their own voice part or just accompaniment.

  • Our professionally-recorded accompaniments can be purchased as standalone items, for download.

How does it work?

  • Registration is free.

  • No subscriptions, just one-off payments for each composition purchased.

  • Guides in our catalogue can be purchased either by individuals for their own use, or by choir directors on behalf of their members.

  • Purchases are for life, no hidden costs.
