Buy a Band

Life can be lonely for the aspiring musician.  If you’re tired of playing on your own and bored with second rate backing tracks, Buy a Band helps you join a group or orchestra by providing a play-along virtual band.  Just like karaoke for instruments, it combines lead sheets for favourite tunes such as Air on the G String (JS Bach), Karl Jenkins's Adiemus and Duke Ellington’s Caravan with a play-along CD,  providing a backing band wherever you are!  Simply slip the CD into your CD player for an instant accompaniment to the printed solo part.  buy a band includes backings for C, Bb and Eb instruments, so you can be the soloist whichever instrument you play.

Buy a Band can be used on your CD player but you can also use it as a CD-ROM.  You can find out about the composer, print out different parts  and even customise the backing tracks to suit your ability and musical tastes on a free mixing desk included.  Using the clever but simple software programme you can add or remove parts on the recording, alter the instruments and change the speed - and it’s easy to use, even for absolute beginners!


Buy a Band is ideal for learners and amateur players of all ages and abilities, for education or just for fun. and is suitable for all treble clef instruments.
