midi scores (not approved by Derek)

I find it hard to practice new songs. My music reading ability is shady and between the rhythms and the melodies, picking out the notes on a keyboard to sing along is not effortless. It helps me to sing along with the score. I ping my fellow basses thinking it might be useful for more than me.

I have imported a couple of pieces into the Musescore¹ format and then recorded mp4's using OBS Studio². Now that I have figured out how to do this let me know if you want me to work on another section or part or piece. I am happy to do it.
