Far better than the Suzuki CD but a bit too fast

By Janet L. - February 27, 2010

Far, far better than the CD that comes with some of the Suzuki books (which sounds like they played it on a synthesizer), this David Cerone CD is good for listening. It is a bit too fast in tempo for most students of that level to be able to play along. My son's violin teacher has assigned him a certain amount of listening time as he progresses to each new song, and this CD is perfect for that (I just put it in the van's CD player and set the song to loop until we're all humming it). I wish they would release a second CD at half this tempo- several of the songs feel rushed, even just as listening music.

Great Learning Tool

The Book was good and we used the methods to learn to play the psaltry. Was well pleased with the product both in the quality and the presentation of what it was on the site.

Good cd

By Alissa K. Yon - March 20, 2012

I agree 100% with the last reviewer on both a student level AND as a violin teacher. It bugged me as a student that these recordings were played so fast, and now as a teacher I thinks it's even more ridiculous! Excellent cd, it's just too bad it's illogical speed-wise. This is why I often record myself playing these songs slower for my students to listen to instead.
