Tasty Tunes (Wendy Stevens)

Clavinova Festival Performance Tutorials

These midi files can be used on any CVP Clavinova but were recorded on a CVP709, so some of the voices may not transfer as recorded.  Many of the recorded orchestrations will also automatically change the Clavinova voices as the student performs. In addition, I have also included a mp3 for these orchestrations, so students and teachers who don’t have CVP Clavinovas can use them for rehearsal as well. As mp3 files are recorded at a performance tempo and include the first measure of the piano part to help students hear where to start playing. I would suggest putting these mp3 files into iTunes, then opening them in the free app Chord Tracker, where the tempo can be slowed down for rehearsal.  – Lori Frazer
