I have abstracted audio files of some of the items we are practicing and they are listed below. They are mainly as .midi files and should be accessible through any reasonable media player (Windows Media Player, Real Player etc). The files are useful for getting your notes and entries right and for getting an overview of the piece. If you have any comments or problems (I'm willing to share my limited technical expertise!), e-mail me.
