Alfred Suzuki Cello School, Volume 3 & 4

Teach cello with the popular Suzuki Cello School. The Suzuki Method of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher in his own right, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the "mother tongue" approach. Each series of books was created for a particular instrument in the Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as this Suzuki Cello School. Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio setting with additional group lessons. The student listens to the recordings and works with their Suzuki cello teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person.

This collection of the Suzuki cello method, Volumes 3 and 4, features recordings by world-renowned cellist Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi and piano accompaniments recorded with the cello part as well as piano accompaniments recorded alone.
