I love this book and CD. Great for a beginner who wants to know and experience the joy of playing along with others as the tracks are laid down for piano and also as a trio of string players. as well the book includes the bass and harmony parts so you can play all if you like to stretch yourself. It is easy and fun as well as challenging for the beginner.
This book is fantastic! I am an instrumental music teacher and use this book with my beginners and my intermediate students at the 4th & 5th grade level. The repertoire is a Suzuki core with well-matched additions. Each song has multiple parts so you can challenge students at any level. The repertoire increases in difficulty at the perfect pace and the CD is a nice practice tool. I've used many method books and this is my favorite.
It was what I ordered. It did come in two different shipments.
Needed bass version
Very Happy!
