Hi all,
Want some fun and challenging 'Music Minus One' style practice?
I've created 'Play Along' charts and recording of music from my ensemble 'The Weather People' (Trpt, Trom, Alto, Tenor)
The music is a fusion of jazz/classical/latin/funk styles of music. There are improvised sections (easy but fun chords) in each piece, and some of the charts will be a good challenge. The music calls for strong classical, jazz, funk, art/music playing techniques for each instrument.
My idea for doing this was to give advancing students (college/conservatory) the opportunity to perform along to a 'click-track' and to play in a horn section that doesn't have a rhythm section.
Great practice for learning how to play 'tight' in a horn section, building your inner sense of time/rhythm, and knowing what it's like to play with a click track.
Each tune comes with audio files (with and without click tracks, but both have count-ins and change of tempo indicators when needed), and PDF's of the music and playing notes/suggestions)

Hope you check them out, and that they can be of use to some of you and your students as well!
Have fun! Yours truly, Cam Millar
