Guide to using Choralia
Choralia is a website that provides practice tracks for choral pieces. Each part includes synthesized words to help you keep your place.

Each part has 3 ways to practice:
1. only that voice part and a metronome
2. that voice part with the other parts in the background
3. all parts at the same volume with accompaniment

Once you choose a way to practice, the player opens and looks like this:
1. this is your main track info bar with the play buttonj
2. you can use this to shorten the track to a portion you wish to practice
(for example, it can loop between 2:30 - 3:00 and you can practice those
measures over and over)
3. this controls the tempo - you can set it slower for a trouble spot
4. this slider controls the volume of your part compared to the rest
(ex, to the left makes your part quieter and the other parts louder)
5. this slider controls which speaker (sound channel) each part is played in
(ex, put your part in the right speaker with the others in the left, or keep it in the
middle to have everything played in both speakers equally)
6. DOWNLOAD the track - you can download the MP3 tracks and put them on a CD
to listen in your car, or on your phone/device to listen throughout your day
