With using software such as the free programs Musescore or Garage Band you will be able to do the following with the MIDI files:
1. Slow the tempo down to your skill level.
2. Change the key, allowing you the option of transposing the patterns into keys other than the written key.
3. Use the loop function to practice difficult measures repeatedly.
4. Use these patterns for ear training exercises by slowing the tempo down and looping a certain section repeatedly, try to play the correct notes using your ear rather than reading the music.
