I originally bought this to add to our baby music collection. My son loves it but we also love the beautiful adaptions and acoustic arrangements. I even played this cd during a party at our house and got great feedback. I definitely recommend this cd to help your little one's mind grow and to add some relaxing tunes to your day!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Guitar Playing, August 21, 2005

By 

S. Buck - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baby's First Guitar Music (Audio CD)

The guitar playing on this album is very amateur. Lots of string noise as the left hand shifts. An immense amount of extraneous noise from the fingernails on the right hand. A tinny and metallic tone. Poor fingerings, such that notes from the previous chord bleed over. Tempos taken much too slow on various pieces (I've never heard Fur Elise taken at such a snail's pace). Occasionally, the arrangements themselves are very poorly done.

If you want to hear real classical guitar music, most or all of the pieces are recorded elsewhere by competent classical guitarists. Check out the albums of Christopher Parkening, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, or John Williams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Bargain, June 28, 2000

This review is from: Baby's First Guitar Music (Audio CD)

I have two daughters, 4 and 1 1/2. I always have music playing for them in their room for naps, sleepytime or just for fun. I also teach 5th grade, and I always have different varieties of music playing in my classroom. I took a chance on the Baby's First series because they are so affordable. Yikes! They are TERRIFIC for ALL ages, and they are so well done! I have sent these CDs to a lot of my friends with kids, and a lot of the other teachers at school have also ordered them for their classes. I LOVE THESE CDs!
