Piano Accompaniments for Advanced Classical Musicians
High quality piano accompaniments played by REAL professional musicians, not a computer. Improve your playing while having fun!
Romantic & 20th Century repertoire for intermediate to advanced players…
Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Violin and Cello.
Welcome to Accompaniments for Musicians!
Tired of playing along with the same old wooden, mechanical (and musically brain-dead) MIDI accompaniments?
That’s why I developed this site, to provide advanced musicians with proper, professional piano accompaniments to standard repertoire, that is not metronomic, and is played with dynamics, expression and rubato – just like in performance.
For advanced players of violin, cello, flute, oboe or clarinet:
Piano accompaniments created using the latest audio extraction technology, where the solo instrument is removed from existing recordings.
This means you get to play with the best accompanists on the planet, while improving your own playing and having fun at the same time.

How were the accompaniments created?
Piano accompaniments have been created using the latest AI audio stem extraction technology, where the solo instrument has been removed from the recording. Then the remaining piano audio was put through various effects and a metronome count-in added if needed to make it suitable for use as an accompaniment.
If you want to change tempos for practice etc
There are a few free apps and online tools that you can use to change the speed of audio files, including the free “Music Speed Changer” app available on Apple Store and Google Play.
