Piano Accompaniment (no vocals):
(from bass Paul Glick: I realized today that we really need to be familiar with what our accompanist will be playing when we sing. I did a little research and found this video...
Once you get far enough in your preparation for the Audition try to sing with the piano accompaniment. It is humbling...
I suggest slowing down the playback speed on this. Then, slowly increase the speed until you are at 100%. To change YouTube playback speed: https://youtu.be/t3Jgt59Ilps?is=6dYNztsE4UsUKwbK
