As an adult learner, I absolutely love this Cello Play-Along! Being able to play iconic tunes like "Maria" and "Somewhere" from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story is incredibly rewarding. The arrangements are achievable, and the included CD with adjustable tempo helps me feel like I'm really playing along with a professional orchestra. Pure enjoyment for my weekend practice sessions!

Annoying CD
Very basic musical arrangements with the accompaniment CD playing an annoying synthesizer melody line that can only be eliminated or reduced if your CD player gives you separate speaker volume controls.
