Cyborg Llama is a brilliant app for ensembles to rehearse virtually! I am an ensemble director (classical guitar ensembles) and have been using it with groups of students since the summer of 2020. The app is set up in a way that it encourages students to develop their listening, synchronizing and blending skills - just as they would develop in live rehearsals. I love that I can give individual feedback, select specific passages for students to work on, and once the project is ready, I can easily export it as a video!
A huge benefit of using CL is that students who tended to "blend into the background" during in-person rehearsals are becoming much stronger players and the entire ensemble is improving dramatically as a result. Once we are back to in-person rehearsals, I plan to continue to use CL so that students continue their ensemble practice at home between in-person rehearsals. I also use the app for my private students so that we can play duets "together", which has really made lessons more enjoyable!
I highly recommend this app - it's truly a secret weapon for ensemble directors! Created with ensemble directors in mind, the functionality of CL really can't be beat by any other app out there.
