Why I Love PianoTrax (And You Should Too!)

Written By Maggie Bera

In a time crunch and need a rehearsal track for auditions?

I've used PianoTrax to rehearse tons of songs over the past few years without the challenge of getting together in person for a coaching.

If you remember it... this is the newer improved version of the same company, AuditionTrax!

Piano Trax Audition Track

Browse Broadways biggest hits

PianoTrax has over 7,500 accompaniment tracks ready to download. Search songs for a full cut, a partial cut, or an audition cut.

Partial songs are not complete songs. If you hover over a song title you will see "Notes" displayed about that song. They may have the dance break removed or a verse cut out.

Audition Cuts are created for people that just need a 16 or 32 bar version of a song to sing for an audition.

Tracks are professional and precise

All piano tracks are played by professional LA accompanist, Tom Griep. Tom has accompanied for the likes of Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Nathan Lane, Olivia Newton-John, Rita Moreno, Matt Morrison, Jane Lynch, Loretta Devine, Davis Gaines & Carol Channing.

Download MP3s and use them wherever

Piano Trax gives you access to download thousands of tracks which are compatible for any music player. Each track is formatted as an MP3. You can either stream live from the site, and/or download them to your computer! 

After you sign up with the site, visit "My Account" upper right corner and you'll see a list of all your tracks.

100% satisfaction is guaranteed. If the MP3s you ordered are not what you expected, you will be fully refunded.
