Abstract
Musical accompaniment is provided in different musical styles to the playing of an instrument, upon selection of one of the styles. A preferred tempo rate, or a range of acceptable tempo rates, are provided in response to selection of the musical style, causing the accompaniment to be sounded at or near a musically correct tempo in all cases. In one embodiment, a preferred tempo rate and a range of acceptable deviation from that rate are provided for each style, causing the accompaniment to be played at the preferred rate unless altered within the acceptable range by a performer.
