Take a listen to some student projects! The files below correspond to exercises and pieces in PDM: Piano for the Developing Musician, 4th Edition, by Martha Hilley and Lynn Freeman Olson. These MIDI recordings were completed by students in Level III and Level IV group piano classes. Enjoy!
If you experience problems with any of these MIDI files, please send an email to cgmoren@ilstu.edu describing the problem. One common problem is that some MIDI plug-ins do not play percussion parts properly; I have found QuickTime to be reliable.
