How can I use Woodwind Practice Partners?

- Become familiar with the accompaniment and understand how the solo line fits with the piano part for more secure performances
- Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo that suits you – ideal for slow, careful practice
- Listen closely to the solo part in isolation to hear every detail of the expert performance
- Repeat tricky passages by setting loops around them
