Suzuki Guitar School CD, Volume 2: Guitar CD

A journey from short, song-like pieces into more structured classical forms, moving from simple melodies into dances and sonata excerpts. The repertoire builds gradually in scope and technical demand, each piece sounding elegant and purposeful.

Guitar students working through the Suzuki Guitar School Volume 2 curriculum who benefit from hearing polished reference performances alongside their practice. Teachers and parents use this recording to help students understand what their pieces should sound like at a professional standard.

• Listen to the full piece before opening your book, then play along with sections you know and mark places where the recorded tempo feels different from your own instinct.
• Use the recording to check your intonation on the double stops in the Allegretto by Giuliani; playing alongside a reference tone helps you develop your ear for precision.
• Study how the recording handles the dances (Waltz No. 1 and its accompaniment) to understand rhythmic clarity and stylistic timing before shaping your own interpretation.

Play this recording during weekly lessons as a reference point before assigning new pieces, or use it as background during studio open houses to showcase the caliber of playing your students are working toward. Parents also find it valuable for understanding the trajectory of their child's learning.

• Listening and aural discrimination across multiple musical styles
• Intonation accuracy, especially in double stops
• Rhythmic clarity and dance-like articulation
• Understanding of tempo and phrase shape through modeled performance
