Suzuki Piano School, New International Edition, Vol. 1

I purchased it to try to learn piano and head this method works well. I am super impressed I’m actually picking up piano super quickly and I highly recommend buying it if you want to learn piano!

I like the basic practice song choices especially Hanchen Klein, Long Long Ago, London Bridges and Twinkle Twinkle.And don't get discouraged! Mr. Suzuki knew full well the difficulty the beginners face. Do not give up. These songs are designed to drill over and over like an all night polka party because they're short and simple. You should choose some bass and treble clef flash card videos online to help expedite you're progress.

Packaged arrived in time, new as expected!

It’s just a book. No complaints

I used the Suzuki books when learning Violin, and I'm very excited to check out the Piano books!

As a beginner with only several months of lessons, I am very happy, and challenged, by the music in this book. It's nice to have proven music to play--sometimes a book provides what I call (not disparagingly) kid books. Some of these pieces are not too demanding, some are very demanding. Challenge, of course, is fine in any endeavour, and this book provides it. I'm nearing the end and already have the 2d and 3rd books ready to go. Playing the CD when first having the books was quite intimidating. I knew I'd probably never be able to get through the book. Playing it again when nearing completion of the book is encouraging, in that I now know it is possible to accomplish the feat. Not anywhere near proficiently yet, but my morale is considerably boosted.

Pretty basic. Near the end the last couple songs get more difficult. But if you go by Suzuki's method the goal isn't just to play these songs, but listen to the CD daily for a long time, then learn to play them by ear. Next make them beautiful and perfect.I really his book Nurtured by Love by Sinichi Suzuki, it helps you understand him, and the importance of becoming a good person first and then obtaining the ability.I recommend getting the book that includes the CD like this one. I read the reviews and said that the New International book was the best. I thought it was fine. It has about 4 different languauges for the intructions also.

It's the Suzuki Method, so buying a book by Dr. Yamaha or Dr. Kawasaki or Dr. Honda wouldn't work. The Suzuki method emphasizes learning music just like children learn to speak - by listening and imitating the sounds they hear. No onerous sheet music reading or sight reading - just listening and repeating. If you are trying to engage children under 8 or 9 in music, the Suzuki Method for (insert instrument of choice here) is by far the easiest way to start out.BTW - I am a self-taught and fairly prolific song-writing guitarist/vocalist/pianist and wished I had started this way....

Um dos livros que minha professora usa em nossas aulas.Incrivelmente didático.A cada música, percebe-se a evolução de técnicas.

Bought this to replace a second-hand piano teachers book which had been extremely written over! So nice to have a clean copy that I can read. I like all the Suzuki books as I prefer the classical style.

Metodo molto valido consigliato dal maestro di pianoforte di mia figlia.

Bought this book and CD as my 5-yr old son started piano lessons with a teacher who is following the Suzuki method. We listen to the CD in the car almost every day while driving back from school, so it doesn't feel like we're pushing this too hard on him. He just listens and actually is picking up on the melody really fast. It helps a lot when he's learning to play a new song. He mostly goes by ear, trying to reciprocate what he's hearing. So far book is mostly for the parents, to ensure he's actually playing the right thing! Overall good purchase and great method. Our son loves it, he keeps trying to try to play songs in advance of his piano lessons.
