Downloadable Practice Music

Use these files to help you memorise your parts.

You can download MIDI files to play on your computer, or (where available) MP3 files to play on your iPod, MP3 player, or computer. The advantage of MIDI files is that they are very quick to download; but you can only play them on your computer (using Windows Media Player, Apple iTunes, Winamp, Real Player or the like) or on specialised equipment. You can also get MIDI player apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones. MP3 files, on the other hand, can be played on just about any portable music player, but they are huge and take quite a while to download.

See Mark James if you want this music on CDs or cassette tapes.
