Originally published in 1930, this little book is not an exposition
of the art of violin-playing, nor does it claim to teach a system
of technical study. The authors aim was to help students and less
experienced teachers through some of the more frequent problems
from which they will, almost inevitably, be faced. Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

The Suzuki MethodA(R) of Talent Education is based on Dr. Shinichi
Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that man
is the son of his environment. According to Dr. Suzuki, a
world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can
know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can
express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students
are taught using the "mother-tongue" approach. Suzuki Cello School
materials include: Cello Parts (Vol. 1-10) * Piano Accompaniments
(Vol. 1-8) * Cassettes (Vol. 1-3, 7, & 8 performed by Tsuyoshi
Tsutsumi, Vol. 4-6 performed by Ron Leonard) * Compact Discs (Vol.
1-3, 7, & 8 performed by Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, Vol. 4-6 performed
by Ron Leonard). Suzuki MethodA(R) Core Materials available for
piano, violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute, harp, guitar, and
recorder.
The Step by Step series is a collection of exercise books/CDs for
violin based on the Mother-Tongue approach. From the very
beginning, it will provide a solid foundation in instrumental
technique for Suzuki and traditional approaches in private lessons
or group settings. The focus is on teaching correct,
child-appropriate practice habits that range from listening,
singing, and dancing to playing music. The ideas presented,
including information for parent and practice tips should stimulate
daily practice and also make it more effective. Includes new piano
arrangements by David Andruss. This volume is the Complete Version
based on Suzuki Violin School, Volume 3, and includes the Violin
Exercise Book in English with the CD. Pages: 60
