Bluemound Road Milwaukee, WI 53213 Throughout this brochure, publications with companion CDs are marked with this icon: CHANGE THE KEY, CHANGE THE TEMPO ON CDs Our most recent companion CDs include new CD-ROM software that allows you to transpose to any key and change the tempo. You can even change the tempo without changing the pitch. This means that the key or tempo of accompaniment tracks on these enhanced CDs, when played in a computer as a CD-ROM, can be adjusted for an individual singer’s needs. This CD-ROM software, the Amazing Slow Downer was originally created for use in pop music, but we have adapted it for classical and theatre use. It is added without additional cost on recent companion CD releases. The trans- posing and tempo adjustment features work only when using these enhanced CDs in a computer, as a CD-ROM. The CDs also can be played on any con- ventional CD player. Beyond new releases, as all of our vast number of vocal book/CD packages come up for rerun, we are adding the Amazing Slow Downer. We value your comments and suggestions. Please send your comments to: Rick Walters Vice President, Classical & Vocal Publications Hal Leonard Corporation 7777 W.
