This transposition of the SUZUKI VIOLIN SCHOOL makes available to the beginning viola student the carefully structured repertoire of The Suzuki Method®- a method that teaches basic playing skills and develops listening and memorizing ability through the playing of beautiful music.

Regardless of the age of the student, it is hoped that Dr. Suzuki’s principles of learning by listening, training the memory, and concentrating on producing a beautiful tone will be observed. Remember that ability develops after a composition has been learned - in the mastering process. The practice suggestions emphasize the need to isolate technical and musical problems, and encourage the teacher to use all the opportunities inherent in the repertoire for orderly growth toward mastery of the instrument.

This volume is also recommended for violinists who wish to become familiar with the viola and reading of the alto clef. For this reason, finger numbers have been kept to a minimum in order that reading will progress by note rather than by finger. The teacher is urged to stress knowledge of names of first-position notes on the viola before note reading progresses to the higher positions.

Many of the solos in this volume are written in the same keys as those in the corresponding SUZUKI CELLO SCHOOL repertoire; also, some solos can be played with the compositions in the SUZUKI VIOLIN SCHOOL.

IntroductIonFOR THE STUDENT: This material is part of the worldwide Suzuki Method® of teaching. The companion recording should be used along with this publication. A piano accompaniment book is also available for this material.

FOR THE TEACHER: In order to be an effective Suzuki teacher, ongoing education is encouraged. Each regional Suzuki association provides teacher development for its membership via conferences, institutes, short-term and long-term programs. In order to remain current, you are encouraged to become a member of your regional Suzuki association, and, if not already included, the International Suzuki Association.

FOR THE PARENT: Credentials are essential for any Suzuki teacher you choose. We recommend you ask your teacher for his or her credentials, especially those related to training in the Suzuki Method®. The Suzuki Method® experience should foster a positive relationship among the teacher, parent and child. Choosing the right teacher is of the utmost importance.
