A DIGITAL REHEARSAL PIANIST THAT NEVER TAKES COFFEE BREAKS!

RehearScore® is among MTI’s most popular theatrical resources – helping directors put on flawless performances with their very own computerized pianist.  Over the years, we’ve received great feedback from our customers who have used RehearScore®, and its now been updated – or “Plussed” – with a host of new features to make your rehearsal process more manageable.

We recently had a chance to sit down with Kathy Chitwood, Executive Director of Eastlight Theatre in East Peoria, Illinois, who recounted her positive experiences with RehearScore®, in anticipation of then newly improved RehearScore Plus®:

Having trouble learning those difficult harmony parts?  Need to vary the tempo for dance or choral rehearsals? Or how about transposing music up and down in half-step increments? The newly enhanced RehearScore Plus® is your cost-effective solution.  It’s like a live having a live pianist, but without the added expense.  New additions to RehearScore Plus® allows users to:

  • Click and jump to ANY measure (New Feature!)
  • Add cuts and vamps (New Feature!)
  • Save changes (New Feature!)
  • Load the software onto as many computers as needed
  • Compatible with MAC OS X and Windows Vista (New Feature!)

Best of all, RehearScore Plus® requires no additional MIDI equipment and is available for $300 for the entire rental period.

I would like to purchase Rehearscore long before our rehearsals start so actors can work on harmony for auditions. How can I secure Seussical rehearscore asap?

Just contact your representative here at MTI, and they’ll be happy to get it out to you – and if you need rush shipping, we can do that too!

Is the Little Women arrangement only piano or is an orchestral arrangement?

Elana Levine September 28, 2010 at 3:29 pm

I noticed that there is a rehearscore for School House Rock Live, but is there also one for School House Rock Live, Jr?

MTI Broadway Junior Collection titles all come with two CDs for performance and rehearsal. The CDs are dapted from the original Broadway orchestrations and professionally produced and are in keys appropriate for young singers:

* Guide-vocal tracks allow students to “sing along” — learning the music is easy and fun
* Fully orchestrated accompaniment-only tracks are excellent for live performances with good tempos
and easy-to-follow cues

I believe it’s an orchestral arrangement. For further details, please email licensing@mtishows.com, and someone will be happy to answer any other questions you might have. Thanks!

I love RehearScore Plus – have used it many times! I was wondering if there were any plans for an associated iPhon/iPad and Android app?

JasonC September 22, 2011 at 1:14 pm

We hope to have something like that in the near future!
