WHY SAWTI?
Imagine having all eyes on you when singing next time in front of your pupils, choir, family or karaoke audience and hitting all the notes at the right pitch?

The Sawti app is designed to take beginners by the hand to see rapid results on your path to successful, confident singing. Exercises are tailored to your voice so you feel comfortable throughout your singing journey.

Learning to sing is super easy: We use the well-known “Hit the bar” concept where the ball moves with the pitch of your voice - in real time! Make sure to hit the bars to successfully finish an exercise. You will start with single tones, followed by easy phrases and songs as well as rhythm exercises.

You will learn to sing these songs:
* Frère Jacques
* Bingo
* Freude schöner Götterfunken
* Alphabet song
* Glockenjodler
* If you’re happy and you know it
* Das klinget so herrlich
* I like the flowers
* My Bonnie lies over the ocean
* Old MacDonald had a farm

Sawti, which means “My voice” in Arabic, was initially developed in order to help hundreds of young music teachers in Jordan, where training is not easily available. It is the first and only app based on the “wirth method”, the educational concept by Prof. Gerald Wirth, Artistic Director of the Vienna Boys’ Choir.

Best thing: with Sawti you not only get over your anxiety and become a confident singer but also get a certificate after completing your learning path. Put the Sawti app in your pocket and practice anytime, anywhere!

EDUCATIONAL CONCEPT
The wirth method is a general music education based on singing, specifically choral singing.
It combines best practice of traditional music teaching and develops it further, defining specific contents and elements essential for highest standards. These are taught using a set of conveying pillars, applying adequate tools to meet classroom situations.

While music lessons still need to be prepared, the wirth method introduces highly flexible and readily available ways of reacting to students’ triggers, lack of attention and other challenges.

Singing and performing from the very beginning are at the core of the wirth method. It aims at keeping the children’s attention at the highest level through a constant interaction between the teacher and the pupils. Children learn to cooperate for a better result.

The happiness achieved through success from the very start leaves an inestimable impact on the children.
