The tempos for the Super Soundtracks are set at performance speed and intended for student use once a piece has been sufficiently learned. If the tempo is still too fast, have a student practice with the soundtracks with just one hand at a time to start. With MIDI files (which are included for FREE when available) you can easily adjust the tempo on your digital instrument. For Mp3 users there are some apps available that will allow you to adjust the tempo without distorting or transposing the track.
