And for those who do not have a string orchestra waiting at home, the Apprentice Soloist comes with a play along, a recorded version of the accompaniment, so that the soloist can play along and rehearse over and over again without fear of ever tiring the orchestra.

The Apprentice Soloist is meant for young (and not so young) beginners who can now have the thrill of making music together with an orchestra after as little as a few months of study.

Videos are also provided in addition to the simple recording of the orchestral accompaniment: the score is then shown in sync with the music, so that the beginner can easily resynchronize after missing a beat or even failing on a full bar. These videos are a major contribution, since following along while reading a score also takes experience and practice.

All recording are available in four versions: with or without piano solo part, at normal or slower speed for rehearsal.
