We’re delighted to welcome popular teacher, composer, performer and arranger Penny Weedon with a new series. This time she has created easy-play arrangements of six well-known classics.

These MIDI tracks serve both to illustrate Penny’s performance and to provide a backing track for you to play along to.

NOTE: Although originally produced using a Tyros5 these files will play on many MIDI compatible instruments. However, due to the use of unique Yamaha voices, they may not sound as intended when used with a different model or when played on your computer..
