GIVE YOUR PRODUCTION A FULL ORCHESTRAL SOUND
THE SHOW IS ORCHESTRATED FOR 16... BUT YOU ONLY HAVE 6? You are NOT alone! Many organizations interested in producing musicals don’t have enough musicians to make up an orchestra. OrchEXTRA® assists these groups by providing the missing instruments needed to realize a full Broadway score, while encouraging all available musicians to participate.
HOW IT WORKS For each musical, every part of the orchestration is programmed by a trained musician and put together to create a “sequence.” Each sequence can then be played back “beat by beat” using the OrchEXTRA® system. Since each orchestra part is on a separate track, they can be turned “on” or “off” depending upon the musicians you have available. Your musicians play as usual, while the instruments missing from your ensemble (but required in the score) are played by OrchEXTRA®.
® What sets OrchEXTRA apart from other music enhancement systems is its extraordinary ability to follow a conductor’s fluctuating tempo as well as its ability to handle subtle musical expression. Consequently, a trained musician is required to operate the system.
NOTE: OrchEXTRA® is not intended to be used as the sole source of music for your production. It is recommended that OrchEXTRA® be used in addition to at least 3-4 live musicians in order to maximize the sound quality of the score.

RehearScorePlus R
VALUABLE REHEARSAL HOURS HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PRODUCTIVE ®
With REHEARSCORE PLUS, you can vastly enhance your rehearsal process, freeing you up for other work as the computer tirelessly teaches parts and plays rehearsals. REHEARSCORE®PLUS plays every note of the Piano/Conductor Score precisely the way the composer intended. Because each singer’s part has been created on a separate track, it can be played back with or without accompaniment (or louder or softer relative to the accompaniment). Yours for the entire rehearsal period, you can install REHEARSCORE®PLUS onto as many computers (PC/Windows and Mac) as you’d like, giving your entire cast access even when outside of rehearsals. HOW IT WORKS
MTI’s RehearScore®Plus is a proprietary sequencing software program designed specifically with the needs of a musical rehearsal in mind. Simply point-and-click to: • Vary the tempo and separate parts while conducting choral/dance rehearsals • Transpose up and down in half-step increments • Isolate, increase or mute any vocal line • Jump to any measure • Add cuts and vamps • Save your changes
NEW FEATURES • Click and jump to ANY measure • Add cuts and vamps • Save your changes

MANAGING YOUR PERFORMANCES HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

KEY BENEFITS • Text messaging and emailing of daily schedules, artist updates, and all communications, calendar subscriptions, and online address cards provides managers with an effortless way to “stay in touch” • Enhanced scheduling features including automatic notification of artist and location conflicts when events are being created • Manage multiple shows simultaneously • Character/scene/song breakdowns already created by professional stage managers for some of MTI’s most popular shows Visit www.stagemanagement.com or www.mtishows.com/resources for more information.

Sometimes being faithful to the score of an MTI musical requires unique, signature keyboard/ synthesizer patches integral to the orchestration. The challenge for musical directors is when these authentic sounds are difficult to find and even more difficult to re-produce correctly. That’s why we created MTI’s Keyboard Patch SolutionsTM – an easy to use resource designed specifically to meet the needs of productions that want convenient, cost-effective access to these hard-to-find keyboard sounds. We’ve carefully assembled all the patches required for a given show and packaged them as one easy-to-use program. Everything is laid out in correct sequential order, so you can easily progress through each song in each keyboard book with professional, authentic, showspecific sounds. All you have to do is connect any standard keyboard (or multiple keyboards) to your computer and you’ll be ready to perform. And we’ll help you every step of the way.
CONVENIENT, COST-EFFECTIVE ACCESS TO THOSE HARD-TO-FIND KEYBOARD SOUNDS

TRANSPOSITIONS ON DEMAND YOUR KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION With MTI’s Transpositions on Demand, you can order songs from select titles in virtually any key, printed in state-of-the-art, easy-to-read computer typeset. HOW IT WORKS: You’ll receive a transposition order form when you receive your rehearsal materials. Establish a performance key and stick with it for a while. Once you’re sure of the key, fill out the order form and send it to MTI. We’ll ship your transpositions unbound on individual sheets so you can insert them into your existing scores.
DIRECTOR’S/CHOREOGRAPHIC GUIDES GIVE DIRECTION AND TEACH CHOREOGRAPHY LIKE A PRO Directors and Choreographers like Jerome Robbins and Susan Stroman made contributions to shows like WEST SIDE STORY, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and THE WORLD GOES ROUND that are integral to the fabric of those works. While the book, lyrics, and music exist on paper, musical staging and directional conception are not as easy to pin down. Fortunately, several authors, directors, and choreographers have supplied MTI with their notes and breakdowns, not to mention precise dance notation to aid your production.
FULL SCORE YOUR MUSIC DIRECTOR WANTS THE “BIG PICTURE” — NOW THEY CAN HAVE IT Did you ever wish you could see the entire orchestration on one page? The Full Reference Score includes every note of the entire orchestration and all markings and cues found in the vocal score. It’s perfect for conducting the show, orchestra rehearsals and score study. MTI is pleased to offer, as an optional additional rental, Full Reference Scores for several of our shows, and we look forward to adding more in the future.
LOGO PACKS THE ROAD TO MARKETING SUCCESS Add a professional touch to your print and online advertising with MTI’s Logo Packs.
