Accompaniment Tracks
Royal Recorders
MP3 accompaniment tracks are central to the delivery of the Royal Recorders program.
- Accompaniments (in a variety of styles) add excitement to the foundational, simple 2-note songs
- Accompaniments provide support for more difficult songs
Permission is given to download MP3s in the best format for you AND your students (phones, computers, Google Classroom, etc.). Students are encouraged to use these tracks outside of class time as well.See Details:
Young Recorder Players will love playing along with these tracks!
Accompaniment tracks (22 songs in a variety of styles) provide support and musical interest, motivating students to play songs multiple times. Accompaniment tracks are offered with a practice speed, supporting the early stages of the students’ efforts. A performance speed track is also provided for performances or as an added challenge in regular class activities. Students can use these tracks when performing out in the community as well.
