Practicing Music with Accompaniment

Composer provides useful and entertaining features to help you practice music with your voice, your music keyboard, MIDI instrument, or acoustical instrument. Composer's central features are that it displays a score as it plays the notes, highlights notes and lyrics, and automatically turns pages. Composer lets you set up a section of the song that you can practice in a loop with optionally increasing tempo. If you have a MIDI keyboard, then you can control some of Composer's playback features remotely from your music keyboard.
