Purchase Hand In Hand (with Book 1) Backing Tracks (mp3s)
"Hand In Hand (with Book 1)" is a collection of 32 backing tracks for 16 pieces. The pieces in question are listed below. Great for using in online lessons and group lessons.
You can buy the backing tracks only or the sheet music only or both.
Each piece has two backing tracks, one with the solo piano part and accompanying instruments and one without the solo piano part (so just the accompanying instruments).
To help you play along to the backing tracks, each backing track has a short introduction. I strongly recommend using headphones (open backed headphones) or good speakers.
Please note that "Allegro" is not included in this collection

Purchase Hand In Hand (with Book 1) Sheet Music Parts
You will be getting the sheet music arrangements (not the solo piano parts)
Particularly useful for teachers, the file you can purchase below contains all the sheet music parts for the backing track arrangements that you can hear in "Hand In Hand (with Book 1)". These could be used for group lesson repertoire. The parts are mostly simple and where they are a little more involved, should be manageable for children in early / mid Book 2.
Most of the ensemble parts are for three instruments (keyboards) in addition to the solo part and a couple of the pieces have an optional additional part. The intention is that you choose appropriate sounds on an electric keyboard to match the sounds on the backing tracks.
The pieces in question are listed below. This sale is the sheet music for the backing tracks ONLY and NOT the printed music for the solo piano parts and please note that "Allegro" is not included in this collection
Contents : Honey Bee, Cuckoo, Lightly Row, French Children's Song, London Bridge, Mary Had A Little Lamb, Go Tell Aunt Rhody, Au Clair de la Lune, Long Long Ago, Little Playmates, Chant Arabe, Allegretto 1, Good Bye To Winter, Allegretto 2, Christmas Day Secrets, Musette.
