CHOIR PRACTICE FILES:

Audio practice tracks can be found below. You can simply click on a file to listen to it, OR YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE FILE TO YOUR COMPUTER DIRECTLY (RIGHT-CLICK AND THEN "SAVE AS..."). There are 3 types of practice tracks:

• #1) Individual part file: Each part (for example, soprano 1, alto 2, etc.) has a file with just that part played on a piano with a metronome click track.
• #2) Vocals with one prominent part: This file will have all of the vocal parts, but one part (either soprano, alto, tenor, or bass) will be louder than the others. For example, if you are an alto, then you want the file that is called "s-A-tb" or if you are a bass you want the file that is called "sat-B". These files are played by string sounds with a metronome click track.
• #3) Complete file: This file has all vocal parts as well as a piano reduction accompaniment. Vocal parts are played all at equal volume on string sounds, the piano accompaniment on a piano sound, and this file also includes a metronome click track.

Tracks are first organized by movement, or you can find playlists further down for each vocal part.
