Very disappointed in the quality that the music was bought for. This was a required music that I had to buy and not all the songs downloaded. so.... I basically got ripped off. Luckily, my teacher wasn't going to use all the songs that came in the book. But at this price, this is a poor product (pretty much like 99% of the textbooks we buy in America).Again, it got me through the course, but I'll probably never use this again since I already have an enormous sets of Classical CD that are ripped to my computer. Much of it were things I had, but I had to get this CD ONLY BECAUSE THE TEMPO OF THE SONGS WERE DIFFERENT. AHHH.If you take a class that requires this CD/book, you'll know what I mean.
