This project is aimed at creating a website containing useful tools for organizing a small group of people gathering around music.
I started it specifically for a newly formed choir in which I sing, which could benefit from its own digital space to facilitate cohesion and group effect.
In an amateur group, practical information is often transmitted by email and can get lost over time or in a massive flow of responses. The idea is to gather these organizational details in one easy-to-access place.
During rehearsals, there is often a more experienced person who leads the direction. However, at home, everyone is left with his/her own musical abilities. The goal is to find ways to make this preparation less daunting. For this, there is the provision of content (scores, audios, lyrics, translations); but also the development (ongoing) of a player that helps in rehearsing certain segments, listening selectively to parallel voices...
The aim of the site is to be easy to access and use, and to limit the barriers related to digital divide. Furthermore, the CMS form allows anyone without development skills to take part in content management. These two factors combined promote a truly democratic management of this social space.
A group lives, creates memories, decisions. These are generally lost in emails, in the form of links that can expire. The idea here is to gather contents and make them available.
