Summary: Suzuki Violin School, Volume 1
Review: As a Suzuki teacher, I insist that all my students have a copy of this recording and listen to it every day. It is a must for Suzuki Book 1 students.

Summary: The first step
Review: I am a "Suzuki kid" myself, now a Suzuki Violin teacher. This is Volume I of 10 in the Suzuki Method Violin repertoire. It is vital that you read Dr. Suzuki's book, "Nurtured By Love" before beginning any Suzuki program. Technique is nothing without a full understanding of the underlying philosophy here, so make sure you agree with Dr. Suzuki's ideas, then find a teacher who feels the same way. You and your child are in for the time of your lives!

Summary: Disappointment
Review: I assumed that with the name Suzuki and Violin School that this purchase somehow would be a starter for a young boy to help train him to play the violin. But it does not do that. I was extremely disappointed.

Summary: Suzuki : Violin School Cd (Suzuki Violin School Cd
Review: Suzuki's selections for volume 2 are not only carefully paced for the advancing student, but a joy to listen to. The songs are varied and engaging for children and parents alike. The melodies are more complicated than volume 1, and explore several different keys and techniques. Gavotte from Mignon is especially enjoyable, with its changes in texture. The song is as fun to play as it is to listen to. Other favorites include a Handel Bouree, Schumann's "The Two Grenadiers", and Paganini's "Theme from the Witches Dance". There are also several "essentials" such as Schubert's Waltz and Minuet in G.I highly recommend this CD as a way to engage young children in classical music. The songs are not so long, the melodies are clear and catchy, and the music introduces the violin in a child-friendly format.

Summary: Suzuki CD a must for students
Review: The Suzuki philosophy is based upon the idea that children can learn music in the same manner they do their native language, through repetitive listening. This listening is then followed up with 1) Individual Instruction with a trained Suzuki teacher 2) Group lessons on a bi-weekly / weekly basis 3) Parent Involvement 4) Encouragement. Students begin lessons as early as two years old and through repetition of small and enjoyable steps begin building a music vocabulary. This high quality CD gives a foundation for pitch memory and a framework of music language from which a well trained teacher can build upon. There is also a version of this CD which is performed by David Nadien; the benefit is there are also recordings of the piano accompaniments without the violin so that students can practice with the piano. Both the Suzuki and Nadien versions of the Suzuki Violin School recordings are fabulous. My only wish is that the final two volumes, 9 and 10, were also on recordings.
