Download Tunes
Many musicians find that slowing down a tune makes it easier to learn. The free VLC player slows down a tune without changing the pitch of the music. It works on both PC and MAC.

3. In the bottom right corner you'll see a box with the entry 1.00 x. Left click on that box. A slider opens. There you may speed up or slow down the audio without changing the pitch of the music.
