Online Performance Recordings

​

Below are recordings we are currently practicing. They are listed mostly in alphabetical order. They are provided for you reference, practice, etc.

When possible the publisher's recording will be provided. We may not take it at their speed, and we may make adjustments, but they should definitely help with tricky rhythms.

Videos, such as via YouTube, will be provided too. There will mostly be other bands. Their quality may not be as polished as the publishers recording, but YouTube allows you to slow down or speed up playback without affecting pitch. This change in speed, in either direction, may help you master a piece too.

Since many of our pieces appeared in movies, or musicals and then movies, I’ve included original clips in case you weren’t familiar with their original form.
