Step-By-Step Guide
Step 1. A track for everything
Imagine if Shakespeare was read by that boring Biology teacher from high school…
That’s what we think about MIDI recordings and why it was so important for us to use REAL musicians. All tracks were professionally recorded by Kansas City studio musicians and mixed by an audio engineer to make you feel like a rockstar.
Fun at every step.
Your purchase includes four different versions of every song in the book(s) to help with student and teacher accessibility. We wanted these tracks to be fun with every step of your musical journey through the books.
Ensemble Accompaniments
These tracks feature a full band of professional musicians performing the songs at full speed. (Great for reference recordings or playing with the track without the pressure of being a soloist.)
Spotlight Accompaniments
These tracks feature a professional rhythm section without piano so that you can be the star of the show. (Perfect for recitals, festivals, and other performances.)
80% Speed Practice Track
These tracks feature a full professional band at 80% speed without any pitch changes for student accessibility.
60% Speed Practice Track
These tracks feature a full professional band at 60% speed without any pitch changes for student accessibility.
Step 2. Pick and click
When you visit this page, you’ll see a screen that looks just like the picture. Notice there are several orange buttons here. These buttons will help you navigate the page quickly and easily.
There are orange buttons for each version of your play-alongs: Ensemble Accompaniments, Spotlight Accompaniments, 80% Speed Practice Tracks, and 60% Speed Practice Tracks.
Click or tap the orange button that best helps you and you’ll be immediately taken to that section of the website.
Step 3. Streaming and Downloading
Stream and have fun.
As soon as you click on the orange button, you’ll be automatically taken to a screen that shows a track list like the photo.
From here you can click the white play button on each track to stream the play-along directly from the website.
Streaming is a great option for many people and is what most of my own students prefer:
No downloading necessary
Doesn’t take up any memory or space on your device
You can stream from anywhere and with any device with an internet connection
Download for on-the-go.
To download the files directly on your device, simply click the orange Download button.
All audio files are in mp3 format, and are compressed into a .zip files. These do take up space on your device so be sure: you have enough memory*, know where your download folder is on your device, and are familiar with opening .zip files.
Downloading can also be a great option for people that are offline or on-the-go.
*File size for the different versions (Ensemble Accompaniments, Spotlight, etc.) can rage anywhere from 30-150 megabytes.
