Welcome to PracticeTracks!
My name is Tom Wakeley, and since 2008 I have recorded over one thousand piano accompaniment tracks for singers to rehearse, learn and perform their musical theatre songs.
I have worked with many professional performers as their accompanying pianist over the years for their auditions and live performances, and time and again singers would come to the piano with a brand new music book and when I started playing their song they would look at me as if they’d never heard it before. ‘It didn’t sound like that on the recording’ was often the comment and I realised that very few singers can look at music in a book and hear what it sounds like. The key and the arrangement can be very different from ‘the recording’.
With this in mind, I set up PracticeTracks to provide singers with piano accompaniment tracks to help them accurately learn how to sing their songs and do themselves justice in the audition room!
So whether you are a professional singer or sing for fun, browse through the scores of accompaniment tracks that I have already recorded, and if the song you are looking for isn’t there, you can always use our custom track form to request a personalised track.
