	Accompaniments: MP3 Audio Files

Note: These arrangements were created by the music specialist using a student-line sequencing software (Freestyle). Ultimately, the student-musicians should create the accompaniments (acoustically or electronically); but until they are ready for that, the specialist should create them. The accompaniments sound complex but were very easy to create. If I can do this, anyone can do this. Have fun & good luck!
