Practicing With Accompaniment

As a teacher of high school orchestra I like to provide recordings of the concert pieces for student reference.  There are times when students what to practice along with the recordings but are unable to play them quite up to tempo.  In an age of smart phones and apps, there are plenty of resources (both paid and free) that allow students to slow down audio files without changing the pitch.  However, if one does not have a smart phone, Quicktime on a Mac and Windows Media Player on a PC, are all you need to slow down recordings and the various computer operating systems already have these programs installed.  Here is an article with information for both apps and the various computer programs.
