Play-Along with Mr. Murphy

Here you will find recordings of Mr. Murphy playing through sections of concert music on various instruments. Remember, if you want to play along to the song at full speed, you can search for it on jwpepper.com - most of the pieces we play in band can be found on this website and will have a recording of the piece to listen to.

Because of the sheer number of instruments in the ensemble and the challenge of the music, I will NOT be making recordings unless someone REQUESTS to hear a part of one of our concert songs. If you would like to request me to create a play-along, please send me a message with the instrument, the song, and the section you'd like to hear. After recording it, I will post it here in case others would like to hear it as well.
