User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Suzuki method is THE method for learning violin
I grew up learning the Suzuki method and believe in it 100%. But, until you are an accomplished violinist (not accomplished at Volume 3), the most benefits will be realized by direction, not by self-teaching. Suzuki method is also a philosophy – look for the book by Suzuki himself explaining this. My violin teacher made all her students’ parents read this when we started lessons.

This collection of songs not only is a good collection to learn various techniques on the violin, but I still have fun years later playing them over and over.

5 Stars Just as fabulous as the previous volumes
Having now progressed to volume 5, I can tell you how wonderful the Suzuki method really is.

Volume 3 is where the difficulty begins to mount. The difficulty is to prepare you for Volume 4, in which new elements are introduced. Practice makes perfect, however, and playing songs instead of pratices helps build tonalization and intonation. The only it does not build, however, is good sight reading. This is not really developed until the 4th volume.

Suzuki method is not designed, however, for self-taught students. In response to another reviewer, the method is designed to help an instructor instruct the student by presenting a collection os pieces that help build the aforementioned items.

3 Stars Okay but not so great
Decent collection of music but litte variation in theme. Little to no assistance/tips for the student. Okay but not so great.

5 Stars Excellent
Suzuki method fails to disappoint me again. The songs advance a little with each book, but just enough to keep it challenging.

5 Stars Excellent version of Suzuki Violin 1 CD
David Nadien’s CD is a great version – it includes the piano accompaniments so that your child can play with the CD.

5 Stars Great
Great recording. It really helps to listen to these if you are taking Suzuki lessons.

5 Stars Great CD
This is the 3rd CD from the Suzuki series we’ve purchased. Like

the 1st two CDs, it’s good, clear and well played. The piano accompaniment is not overwhelming nor is it too soft. My daughter enjoys listening and playing her violin along with these CDs. It’s a good idea to have this to play the new songs so your child can hear the pieces for Book 3 of the Suzuki pieces. She asks for it when we’re in the car so that she can listen to it while I drive.
