I bought this book to help me learn more the Suzuki method and how to teach/encourage me and my 6 yr old son with our home violin practice. While our violin teacher does a few things a little different from the recommendations in this book, I still found this book helpful. It gave me ideas to make our home practices more Dr. Starr also includes some cute stories to help encourage children to practice and my son liked hearing these from the book.

As a violin teacher that teaches a lot of young children, I found this book to be very helpful. At first I thought it might just be stories about Mr Suzuki himself, but that is actually just a minor part of the book. I am not necessarily a Suzuki teacher, I like to use different approaches for each student - so therefore I found this book even more helpful in providing tips and tricks as for how to make teaching violin more enjoyable for students, how to speak to their imagination more and get them excited about something that can sometimes seem boring.
Also, there's a lot of exercises and explanations about those exercises in the book that are very helpful.

A very easy read as well!
