Question 1

What is a piano accompaniment track?

Accepted Answer

A piano accompaniment is the backing piano part of a song with the vocal melody removed. You sing or play the melody on your own instrument while the piano holds the harmony and rhythm — same idea as karaoke, but with live piano instead of a pre-recorded full mix.

Question 2

Can I change the key of the accompaniment to fit my voice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every backing track on Super Simple Piano has a live transpose control. Shift up or down in semitones until the song sits in a comfortable part of your vocal range; the piano accompaniment follows the new key automatically.

Question 3

Can I sing along while listening — or use it for instrument practice?

Accepted Answer

Both. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Toggle it back on with the mic icon. Instrumentalists (singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players) can also play the melody over the piano backing.

Question 4

How is this different from regular piano songs on the site?

Accepted Answer

Regular piano songs are full arrangements designed for someone learning to play piano. Accompaniment tracks strip out the lead melody and leave only the piano backing — built for vocalists and other instrumentalists who want to perform or practice over a piano part.

Question 5

Are the backing tracks free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every accompaniment track is free to play in the browser. Registered users can also download MIDI, MusicXML, and PDF sheet music for the full arrangement.

Question 6

Can I slow the backing track down to practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The speed control goes from 10% to 200% of the original tempo. Slow it down for tricky verses, then bring it back to performance speed.
