An introduction to MIDI files is here. These MIDI files were on a site hosted by the International Double Reed Society and available to all up to 2018. The archived resource on the new IDRS webpage may not be available for non-members of the IDRS in the future: https://www.idrs.org/MIDI/MIDI_HP.htm
MIDI files here duplicate the original IDRS collection and contain some additions. Most of these files were created by Terry B. Ewell from 1996-2000. These are not error free files, since most created quickly from an electronic keyboard.
The authors of these documents give permission to freely copy these MIDI files for practice and studio use only. Public performance or commercial use of these documents or files are allowed only by the written permission of the authors.
