Review: get the version with the CD you won't regret it! - Well I think the name Suzuki speaks for itself. I am a private violin teacher and I love teaching from this book. I love that the method just builds on each song and you learn line upon line and precept upon precept. I do think that the Suzuki method does teach kids to memorize though rather learn to read notes, so I incorporate my own method in with it. You may want to check and see if your private lesson teacher does the same or what she does to help combat the memorization problem with Suzuki. I know when I first started playing years and years ago, this was my biggest problem when learning the Suzuki method. I had learned to memorize everything and not read my notes. I finally had a teacher that had to break me of that habit and learn to actually read music. So make sure that you are having your child or you yourself are learning to read the music, not just memorize it! The songs in this book are great and fun to play and start off pretty easy for beginners. You first learn songs on the A and E string, about half way through you learn the notes/songs on the D and G string. I always tell my kids oh this is my favorite song, this is my favorite song. I can't ever decide which is my favorite in the book because they are all so much fun and each song you learn something new. I love that there is a CD to play along with I would highly suggest getting that version if are buying this book, It is definitely worth the extra money spent. I think it helps you to be able to hear the notes and make sure you playing the notes and rhythms correctly. It is a good practice CD. I often will have my students play along with the CD. This helps them hear to make sure they are playing their notes and rhythms right. Definitely a good thing to have for any beginner. Overall, I really love this book and the songs in the book. I like how they teach and like what they teach but I would recommend using another method for theory. If this review was helpful please like it, if not please comment below and let me know what I could do to make it better! Happy Practicing!!! Review: The Perfect Start for New Violin Players - This book is the best way to start learning the violin, especially for kids or beginners. It is very simple to follow and uses a step-by-step method that builds your skills naturally. The most helpful part is how it introduces basic songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to teach you the right finger positions and bowing techniques. I love that it focuses on listening and playing by ear, which made me feel like a real musician right away. If you want a clear and proven path to playing your first songs on the violin, this is the book you need! ## Features - Alfred Publishing Co.

Happy Practicing!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Start for New Violin Players *by M***S on January 4, 2026* This book is the best way to start learning the violin, especially for kids or beginners. It is very simple to follow and uses a step-by-step method that builds your skills naturally. The most helpful part is how it introduces basic songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to teach you the right finger positions and bowing techniques. I love that it focuses on listening and playing by ear, which made me feel like a real musician right away. If you want a clear and proven path to playing your first songs on the violin, this is the book you need! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Starting Point *by P***V on July 19, 2014* I recently decided to teach myself the violin and went ahead with the Suzuki method. The simple review is, yes, this book develops beginner techniques well and you can be playing pieces within two-weeks. I was excited to not only be able to play the familiar piece, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the beginning, but a multitude of simple variations that make you feel proud about what you've learned and how you've progressed. But like any skill being developed, the user needs to uphold and facilitate correct practice procedure and be patient with the development. I've been using solely this book for about a little over a month now and am approaching the more difficult final pieces. It's very easy to get ahead of yourself and think just because you can play through a piece, that you've learned it (a mistake I found myself making). After adjusting my mentality about when a piece is truly learned and how to practice it well (slow slow slow!), I can honestly and confidently say I'm very happy with this book and plan to finish it and continue the series. The only con I have is wishing it went into more detail about certain bowing/fingering techniques and what it expects us to get out of an exercise. The less detailed approach this book carries makes me think it's designed more for students with a teacher present to expand upon the quick concepts, so be prepared to ask a violinist or YouTube for more details on specific techniques. ## Frequently Bought Together - Suzuki Violin School, Vol 1: Violin Part - Suzuki Violin School, Vol 2: Violin Part - Essential Elements for Strings - Violin Book 1 with EEi Book/Online Media --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2280123-suzuki-violin-school-vol-1-violin-part-international-edition](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2280123-suzuki-violin-school-vol-1-violin-part-international-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
