Concert Companion
Walk on stage ready.
The practice app for classical musicians. Plan your practice, prepare your concerts, and if you sing: learn every word with translation, pronunciation and audio.
Three problems every musician knows.
You lose track of which pieces really stand, and which only feel that way because you played them last week.
The week before a concert starts without an overview: what still needs a run-through, and what already stands?
And if you sing: the translation is in one book, the pronunciation in a second, the recording on YouTube.
Your practice, organized.
Repertoire, planning and concerts, in one place.
Repertoire tracking
Every piece with a clear state: learning, performable, maintained.
Daily planner
A daily answer to the question: what do I practise today?
Concerts and programs
Build programs, plan concerts, and see what's ready as the date comes closer.
Performance Prep Mode
In the weeks before a concert, your plan shifts toward run-throughs by itself.
Timer and metronome
Built in, right where you practise.
Recordings
Record excerpts and keep them with the piece.
Encrypted journal
Private notes on sessions, pieces and concerts. No one else can read them, not even us.
Stats and streaks
See your hours, your streak and your progress over time.
For singers, it goes further.
A library of more than 95,000 arias, songs and numbers, from opera to oratorio. Over 2,000 works are built out in full: original, translation, word meanings and IPA, line by line, with HD audio.
Line-by-line translation
Every line in your language, next to the original.
Word-for-word meaning
Tap any word to see what it means.
IPA pronunciation
The whole text in IPA, next to every line.
HD audio
Hear every line read aloud, in high quality.
Browse by voice type
Find repertoire that fits your voice, or search by composer or language.
Historic recordings
Recordings from the 78rpm era on the aria page: hear how it was sung a hundred years ago.
Free to study in full
Le nozze di Figaro, Dichterliebe and Messiah are free for everyone. One for opera singers, one for recitalists, one for choristers. On top of that you pick up to 3 pieces from the whole library, free.
Not every piece has everything yet. If something looks off, report it with one tap and it gets fixed.
From first read to from memory.
Start by reading and hearing each sentence. Or make it a game: every game feeds the page.
Next line
Pick what comes next.
Rebuild it
Put the words back in order.
Gaps
Fill in the missing words.
First letters
Only the first letters to go on.
Say it
The mic checks your line.
By heart
Just the meaning, nothing else.
Repetition brings sentences back before you lose them. You see exactly where you stand: line 12 of 31.
Diction, built in.
How each repertoire language sounds, and the words you actually meet in scores. Full courses for Italian, German, French and Russian, quick guides for five more languages, an IPA crash course and an opera dictionary.
Who makes this.
Concert Companion is made by TuneShift, a small company of working musicians in the Netherlands. The app comes out of the rehearsal room: built by a concert pianist who works there with singers every day. No ads, no filler. The point is to walk on stage ready.
Works on every device.
Concert Companion is a web app. It runs in any modern browser, on your phone, tablet or laptop, and it's always up to date.
On Android, get it on Google Play or download the APK directly. On iPhone, open concertcompanion.app in Safari and add it to your home screen. It then opens full-screen, like any other app.
