FOR THE STUDENT: This material is part of the worldwide Suzuki Method of
teaching. Companion recordings should be used with these publications. In addi-
tion, there are piano accompaniment books that go along with this material.
FOR THE TEACHER: In order to be an effective Suzuki teacher, a great deal of
‘ongoing education is required. Your national Suzuki association provides this for
its membership. Teachers are encouraged to become members of their national
Suzuki associations and maintain a teacher training schedule, in order to remain
current, via institutes, short-term programs and long-term programs. You are also
encouraged to join the International Suzuki Association.
FOR THE PARENT: Credentials are essential for any teacher you choose. We
recommend you ask your teacher for his or her credentials, especially those relat-
to training in the Suzuki Method. The Suzuki Method experience should be a
positive one, where there exists a wonderful, fostering relationship among child,
arent, and teacher. So choosing the right teacher is of the utmost importance.

Maestro Pablo CasalsThe four main points for study in Volume II:
1. The child should listen to the reference recordings every day at home to develop
musical sensitivity. Rapid progress depends on this listening.
2. Tonalization, or the production of a beautiful tone, should be stressed in the lesson and
at home.
3. The position etudes should be practiced well before each lesson.
4, Constant attention should be given to accurate intonation, correct posture, and the
proper bow hold.
Tonalization
