NOTES

Play along for Ladies in Lavender........
As the tempo and bar time signatures change throughout the piece, it is difficult to follow, particularly for instruments playing accompaniment parts.
The only video of a wind band playing this tune is of poor sound quality.
I have recordings of flute and piano, plus metronome, for this tune. If you would like me to email or WhatsApp them, please let me know.

To make practice easier, there are four separate files...

Ladies 1to9.mp3
Ladies 8to24.mp3
Ladies 23to41.mp3
Ladies 40to63.mp3

The metronome (click track), sounds quaver beats. So common time (C) bars have four clicks, and 3/2 bars have six clicks.

If anyone has trouble downloading tunes, I can provide help via email. I also have files for use with Transcribe!.
The Transcribe! application is an assistant for people who sometimes want to work out a piece of music from a recording, in order to write it out or play it themselves. Transcribe! is also used by many people for play-along practice, and also for speech transcription.
To find out more, go to the website www.seventhstring.com
There is a free trial period for the program. The purchase price is a once only payment.
