Kataoka Performs Suzuki Piano School Volume 3 Audio CD

Karaoke is the only one you should buy for Suzuki music. I really hate to read reviews on this CD that only complain that the music pieces are repeated . It shows ignorance because the Suzuki method and the reason for the CDs is for the student to listen to the music and that is whites played four times . The person giving it one star gave the star and ignorance and everyone should know that because it's just a case of being an educated on their part and this is a wonderful CD and don't ever buy a Suzuki CD that doesn't have at least four repetitions of the piece on it.

I was listening to this CD in my car (for my son), and realized that the same song is repeated "at least 3 times".... in addition to the repeats the composer wrote on the music score... So you'll be listening to the same song 6 times or more.... It was a torture....Turns out, Suzuki Volume 3 is very short, (all together about 9 minutes... if no additional unnecessary repeats) they just wanted to fill the CD with playing the same piece again and again and again...Others sell the CD as volume 3 & 4 together, you'll be better off buying them to save money and still keep the mental sanity!--- additional commentI purchased all Suzuki CDs for volume 1-6. Many combines 2 volumes into 1 CD. As I said earlier, each volume is very short to fill 1 CD... just 9 minutes! If this was on LP or Cassette (remember them?), some could argue that this is purposeful repetition inline with Suzuki method of teaching. But, in the age of CD and MP3, you can just hit the "repeat" button? Play list? In addition, the repetition is not per each song or movement. For example, this CD repeats like this:Track 1: Sonatina #1: movement 1 -> movement 2 -> movement 3 -> movement 1 -> movement 2 -> movement 3 -> movement 1 -> movement 2 -> movement 3Track 2: Sonatina #2: movement 1 -> movement 2 -> movement 1 -> movement 2 -> movement 1 -> movement 2So, if your child is practicing Sonatina #1 movement 2 or 3, then you cannot just go there with a button, but have to seek (or fast forward) to the starting point of movement 2 or 3.... and obviously, you cannot repeat movement 1 or 2 or 3 alone. You will have to hear the all 3 movement with your player's "repeat" button. Very, very annoying!
