What is an accompaniment CD?

An accompaniment CD is a musical recording that provides instrumental or musical support for a vocalist or instrumentalist. It typically includes a backing track, which is the foundation of the song without vocals or lead instruments, and may include additional instruments or arrangements to enhance the performance. Accompaniment CDs are commonly used in music practice, karaoke, and live performances. They are also used in music education to help students learn to play or sing along with a backing band or orchestra. Accompaniment CDs can be found in various genres, including popular music, classical music, jazz, and more.
