| The tunes below are available for download. |
| Left click on a song title and choose "Save Target As". |
| Many of these songs were transcribed from piano sheet music. |
| If you're a guitarist, I encourage you to give it a try. |
| One guitar track does the treble clef and the other guitar track does the bass clef. |
| Look for easy piano scores. They come in all kinds - jazz, blues, classical, etc. |
 |

| A short duet based on Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the SugarPlum Fairy". |
