Summary of This Method
This method is rooted in the philosophy of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki: every child has potential, and a supportive musical environment helps to reveal it. Learning is based on imitation, listening, and repetition, much like acquiring one's mother tongue. The included CD supports study by providing a valuable audio model to develop the ear, stabilize tempo, and refine intonation through daily practice.
The content emphasizes essential violin playing goals: tone quality, bowing consistency, intonation, and stylistic understanding. The "tonalization" sections (including "The Moon over the Ruined Castle" by Taki) encourage attention to attack, resonance, and sound sustain, while building confidence in sound production.
The collection offers a rich musical journey through famous and formative pieces: "Berceuse / Wiegenlied / Lullaby" Op. 98 No. 2 (Schubert), "Gavotte" (Lully), a "Minuet" from the Sei Quintetti per Archi (Boccherini), "Scherzo" (Webster), "Minuet in G" WoO 10 No. 7 (Beethoven), as well as several pages by Bach (including "Gavotte en Rondeau" BWV 822 and Minuets BWV Anh.). Added to these are "Humoresque" Op. 101 No. 7 (Dvo?ák), "La Cinquantaine" (Gabriel-Marie), and an "Allegro Moderato" taken from Sonata BWV 1027 (Bach). This repertoire is ideal for advancing the student while cultivating a taste for beautiful tone and expressiveness.
