Start from an Excel file you already have
You say what each column holds, once. The songs arrive with their key, their language and their occasions. Included from the Choir plan.
Scores and recordings lost in the WhatsApp group
One score for everyone, a recording for each section
Each section finds its score and its recording on the song's page.
The app
As a choir sees it
Each tab is a page of the app, filled with an example choir's data.
Choirs
For choirs that sing every Sunday
Parish, cathedral, youth and children's choirs: Sanjola is designed around how they rehearse, sing and organise themselves.
Photographs of choirs in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda and Nigeria, under open licences (credits at the bottom of the page). These choirs do not necessarily use Sanjola.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What a choir asks before it starts.
Payment and plans
How do we pay?
By mobile money, cash or transfer, in F CFA. The free plan stays free, up to 25 singers and 100 songs.
Is the free plan limited in time?
No. It stays free as long as the choir has no more than 25 members and 100 songs.
What happens if we don't renew?
The choir goes back to the free plan and nothing is deleted. Past the limits you simply can't add members or songs, and Excel import and export close.
Getting started
Do we need to install an app?
No. Sanjola opens in the browser, on a phone or a computer. You can add it to your phone's home screen.
We already have everything in an Excel file.
Import it. You say what each column holds, and values can be written in French, English, Wolof or Lingala. Import and export are included from the Choir plan.
Not all our singers have a smartphone.
List them anyway. A singer can be on the roster without an account: they get their voices, can be assigned to a celebration, and the roll counts them. They can join with the invitation link whenever they are able to.
Trust
Who can see our songs and our members?
Only the choir's members. If you choose, a public page shows your repertoire and your coming celebrations; files, attendance, e-mail addresses and phone numbers stay private.
Who can change what?
Admins manage members, invitations and settings. Every singer can browse the repertoire, add songs and pick their own voices. Programmes and the roll are prepared by the choir's leadership and its secretary.
Mobile data is expensive.
A recording only downloads when someone presses play. WhatsApp voice notes can be added to a song as they are.
Creating your choir takes two minutes
You invite your singers with a link. They pick their voices, and the repertoire starts to fill up.
