As in so many things in life, the fastest way to get there is by going slowly! (Here is the blog entry on How to change tempo in MuseScore) If you practice at too fast a tempo, what you will be ingraining in your muscle memory are the mistakes. More to the point, they can be played at a tempo I can manage! Once I can play all the notes correctly I then (and only then!) increase the tempo. Usually, there is no way I can play a new piece “up to tempo”, but MIDI files can be played at any tempo I desire. Additionally, you can print the score and/or parts from a MIDI file using any notation program (Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, etc). You do not have to change anything when using a MIDI file but you can, and that is what makes a MIDI file such a powerful rehearsal tool.

MIDI files, on the other hand, give you the freedom to easily change: With an audio file (MP3 or WAV, for example) the play-back is fixed you have no control over the tempo nor the key. MIDI files are the ideal medium for musicians, especially in these times of social distancing: they allow "music-minus-one" rehearsing, and it is easy to reconstitute the sheet music from a MIDI file using any music notation program (Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, etc). See the blog entry of for how to do this.

The free program MuseScore is recommended for this purpose. For some works I could not find the sheet music freely available, but you can always print the sheet music from the MIDI file using any music notation software.
