CyberBass/Rehearsal Tracks

CyberBass is a website that houses MIDI tutorial files that will help you learn your individual parts. CyberBass is not beautiful or artistic. It does not playback dynamics or vocal nuances. It is a note bashing site. CyberBass is an aid to rapidly learn and perfect music, freeing the conductor for more artistic endeavors. 

It is 100% free to use online. Audio CDs are available for most CyberBass presentations of the major works for a nominal price.  Price includes tax and shipping.
