Now available are piano accompaniment MIDI disks for the Suzuki Viola School, Volume 1. Recorded by Suzuki Accompanist Linda Perry on the Yamaha® Disklavier®, these performances were recorded without reference to a metronome and have a human feel to them. MIDI disks are very flexible to useÂ--you can control the tempo, transpose, add a metronome click, and cancel the playback of the left- and/or right-hand parts. Best of all, students love them! The files are in a format called Standard MIDI File (SMF) and can be played using a variety of different equipment, including an acoustic piano that has MIDI, a digital piano, a synthesizer, a Macintosh or Windows computer. The enhanced CD-ROM contains all of the piano accompaniments plus an exclusive version of Home Concert Xtreme SEÂTM from TimeWarp Technologies which will show the music on your computer screen, follow along with it, and turn the pages for you! Also included on the CD-ROM are the listening tracks recorded by William Preucil

These orchestra accompaniment pieces are arranged by Mr. Paul Schwartz and selected and edited by Mr. John Kendall. The pieces are selected from Suzuki Violin School, Volumes 1 and 2. Solo parts are to be played by a group of children, and it is suggested that when a large number of children are playing the solo part, the piano accompaniment be doubled with the orchestra so that extra support is provided. These arrangements are written at junior high school orchestra level.
