Many computers come equipped with all of these features. If yours is one of them, clicking on the file link will start the file playing.

BAND CHALLENGERS
In this area you will find the accompaniments to melodies that have been or will soon be distributed in class.
I have prepared material for all instruments. Each accompaniment is presented with and without melody. You will find that the performance of these tunes requires varying degrees of skill depending on the instrument played. Therefore, I have provided a range of speeds for each selection. Each selection begins with a series of clicks to establish the tempo.
