1.0 out of 5 stars Suzuki Violin School, Vol. 1 - performed by Shinichi Suzuki, May 22, 2005

By	snazzy (California) - See all my reviews

As a violin teacher, I bought this CD for one of my students. However, I am NOW ordering the Cd of the same volume performed by a different violinist. The performances on this CD are, unfortunately, all very sharp, in other words, not in tune. I do not recommend any student listening to them, as their use as a reference for intonation will be incorrect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suzuki CD a must for students, June 17, 2003

By	Lisa Miles (Juneau, AK) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first step, August 20, 2001

By	"genki5" (Jenkintown, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suzuki Violin School: Violin Part, Volume 6 (Paperback)

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!
