One of my favorite discoveries during the pandemic was the vast number of piano parts, recorded live by an actual human being, available for my flute students who couldn't play in-person with a pianist. "Canned accompaniment", if you will, doesn't teach our students how to communicate with a pianist or allow for any musical give-and-take, but in a pinch, it's better than nothing. I live in a rural state where smart phone and bluetooth speaker combinations far outnumber live pianists, so these pre-recorded piano parts can be a lifesaver for pre-college players preparing for solo and ensemble contest or auditions. And for my college students, practicing with these videos helps them prepare for efficient rehearsals with their pianist because it allows them to learn the piano part and how they fit into it. And for me, they're just ridiculously fun on a Saturday morning when I don't feel like going through my usual long tone routine. I know I haven't nearly captured them all, but here are some on my playlist (and if you have something specific you're looking for that you don't see here, just search "(name of piece) piano accompaniment".
