mattdalton has a spectacular aura about
Tom -
I'd like to congratulate you for a job extremely well done on the play-along CDs for the Stamp studies. I've played the studies for many years, but it's much easier to focus on playing them correctly and remaining in "present time" with the CD playing. One hand holding the mouthpiece and the other hand playing the keyboard works fine, but using the CD is dramatically better. Because time and pitch are laid out so clearly, it's easier to achieve a focused, consistent warm-up with the CD.

If you get a chance, please pass along my thanks to Mr. Stevens for composing the useful and interesting accompaniments too.
