Notebash provides rehearsal CDs with individual parts played instrumentally, with the other parts in the background – their website is at www.notebash.org.

LearnChoralMusic provides free Midi files of many popular pieces.  These can be downloaded and converted into CDs, but this requires some technical knowhow. The website is at www.learnchoralmusic.co.uk.

CyberBass   This also provides free Midi files, which again can be downloaded and converted to CDs, with the appropriate technical knowledge.  Also a resource centre for scores, rehearsal CDs and performance CDs.  The website is at www.cyberbass.com.

Please note that the provision of links to suppliers of rehearsal CDs does not imply that Brockham Choral Society endorses or recommends all or any of these suppliers.
