For barbershop choruses & quartets
The app built for four-part harmony
Learning tracks for lead, tenor, bari, and bass. Contest set lists your whole chapter rehearses from. Chapter calendar, section messaging, and attendance — so you can focus on ringing chords, not admin.
Free to start. Used by 100,000+ singers across barbershop, a cappella, and vocal ensembles worldwide.
Your members want to woodshed. Your admin is in the way.
Barbershop lives and breathes on learning tracks. But the tools most choruses use to share them were built for everything except.
- Line tapes emailed in batches, then re-emailed when someone replies-all with a correction.
- Contest set lists buried in a Google Doc three people can edit and nobody is sure is current.
- New members drowning in a shoebox of learning tracks they can't find when they need them.
- Tenor section needs the tenor track. Leads need the lead. Instead, everyone gets everything and has to dig.
- One tool for files, one for messaging, one for the calendar, one for attendance — and nobody on the chapter board wants to manage all of them.
ChoirMate puts learning tracks, sheet music, set lists, calendar, and messaging in one app your chorus will actually use.
Built for the way barbershop rehearses
ChoirMate's features, set up for the way BHS, Sweet Adelines, and Harmony Inc choruses actually work.
Learning tracks by voice part
Upload or record tracks for lead, tenor, bari, and bass. Members woodshed their own part on the phone, in the car, or on the treadmill — and arrive ready to ring chords on chapter night.
Sheet music and chord charts
Upload the arrangement. Whole sheets, vocal parts, and chord sheets live in every member's pocket — available offline, always the current version.
Contest and show set lists
Build your contest set, holiday show, and tag-night list. Update in one place, and every member sees the current set — not the one from three rehearsals ago.
Chapter meetings, clinics, and contest weekends
Rehearsals, coaching clinics, retreats, contest weekends, and afterglows. Members RSVP from their phones. You know your voice coverage before you walk in the room.
Directors, section leaders, coaches
Directors message the whole chorus. Section leaders message just their section. Coaches leave notes on specific songs. Without a messy email thread.
Decisions without the post-rehearsal debate
Vote on contest songs, uniform choices, or the retreat venue — from the app, not the parking lot.
Laptop for the board, phone for the members
Directors and section leaders run the chapter from a browser. Members rehearse from their phones. Everything syncs in real time.
Everything your choir needs,

Practice lists
Get started with self-practice whenever you have a spare moment, instantly.
Listen anywhere, anytime
Whether you are on your way to work, school or at home does not matter. The curaded practice list for the next concert is always available.
Editor controlled
Appointed choir members are responsible for updating the practice lists for their vocal group. Since the practice lists are shared, the fellow group memebers can easily get started practicing. Why waste time and energy finding the best audio files, when a few editors can facilitate for everyone else?
The good results from increased self-practice are both heard and felt.
What barbershop singers say
“This app is truly a game changer for choirs. Communication, line tapes, sheet music, lyrics, scheduling, set lists are all clearly accessible in a way that previous apps or communication methods haven't come close to achieving.”

- Available in 13 languages, used by choruses in BHS, Sweet Adelines, Harmony Inc, BABS, BinG, and more.

Barbershop chorus app questions, answered
Does ChoirMate support learning tracks for lead, tenor, bari, and bass?
Yes. Learning tracks can be organised and shared by voice part. Leads get the lead track, tenors get the tenor, baris get the bari, basses get the bass. Members listen to their own part on repeat until they've woodshed it.
Can I share predominant and practice tracks per voice?
Yes. You can upload multiple tracks per song — predominant for each voice plus full mixes — and tag them so section members find the right one without hunting.
How does ChoirMate handle contest set lists?
Build a contest set list with the songs in performance order. Update the list as the chorus settles on arrangements. Every singer sees the current set, and you can swap or reorder without re-sending files.
Can members download tracks for offline practice?
Yes. Members download tracks to their phone and play them offline — in the car, at the gym, or on a flight to international contest. No data burned, no wifi needed.
Can coaches leave notes on specific songs?
Yes. Members can leave private practice notes, and admins can pin chorus-wide notes to specific songs — useful for coach feedback, arrangement markups, and contest prep reminders.
Does ChoirMate work for both BHS and Sweet Adelines choruses?
Yes. ChoirMate is organisation-agnostic. BHS, Sweet Adelines, Harmony Inc, BABS, BinG, SNOBS, SABS — the core features (learning tracks, set lists, calendar) work identically for all of them.
What about small ensembles and quartets?
Quartets can use ChoirMate too — the same features (learning tracks, set lists, messaging, calendar) scale down to four-voice ensembles. Good for tag singing, contest prep, and quartet coaching.
Can we track chapter meeting attendance and qualifying?
Yes. Members RSVP to chapter meetings, rehearsals, and special events. Attendance data exports to Excel — useful for chorus qualifying, contest eligibility, and board reporting.
