CD TRACKS WITH PIANO SOLO MUSIC

• Orchestrated CD accompaniment tracks are available on this website. These are the same tracks that are on the listening CDs without the piano
• It is highly advised that you be very familiar with the music from the listening CDs in helping to learn to follow the accompaniment tracks. The ultimate goal is to play as if “the orchestra was following the piano” instead of the pianist following the track. Some arrangements are more difficult than others and are not consistent in level of proficiency or complexity of the orchestration.
• The piano music for CD track can NOT be performed as “piano solo only” (unless noted). It is only performed with CD track accompaniment or organ part.
