Read full description

The world’s first app designed specifically for percussionists to prepare orchestral excerpts for auditions, masterclasses, lessons, and performances. Every excerpt comes with a painstakingly time-edited orchestral recording, a metronome track, and a solo instrument track that can all be turned on or off with the flick of a switch. The best part? You can adjust the tempo of every track to the exact BPM you need. Want to play Magic Flute at 92 BPM? No problem. Scherzo Capriccioso at 100 and switch to 140 at the Presto? You got it. This app is only available for members of The Percussion Conservatory. Use your account to login using the same credentials right here on the app.
