Suzuki Violin School, Vol 4: Violin Part

The Suzuki Violin School, Vol 4: Violin Part is an invaluable resource for advanced violin students. This volume includes a diverse selection of pieces by composers such as Schubert, Brahms, Seitz, Vivaldi, and Bach, providing a well-rounded repertoire. The revised editing, additional exercises, and insightful suggestions for teachers make it incredibly useful for both students and instructors. The book is available in multiple languages, making it accessible to a wide range of learners. Highly recommend for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and skill in violin playing!

The Suzuki method for playing is a proven method for violin instruction. This book, as well as all the others in the series, are geared towards improving the technique of the student, while giving he or she nice quality music to add to their violin repertoire. Book 4 has more very nice violin pieces for the student to learn. I highly recommend it.

I like the selection of songs. I borrowed one of these from a friend. This one must be a new version because the shift fingering is different. It has additional exercises that I did not expect.

This music lesson book was exactly as ordered. Thank you!

Great value, shipped well. Susuki is a great way to learn violin.

Suzuki violin is a great program that is well arranged. Students play great music from multiple composers and students (and parents) learn about different composers and musical styles. Students get to play "real" music.Songs sound pleasant to the ear, a bonus for parents, and many of the songs are catchy. I find myself humming the current song throughout the day.A challenging book that will enhance any repertoire. Much better than the essential elements style of book for the private violin student who has been playing for a few years because the songs are long and challenging. These books are for the advancing student with a teacher who works with them to move along or the experienced violin player who wants a variety of good material in one book. My child's book is all marked up with notes from the teacher helping with bowing.That said, these books require a private instructor for students since there are no diagrams or images to show finger positions or give details about shifting. The violin student doesn't work simply on one new skill and move on to the next then play the big song as they do in the teaching type books. New skills aren't isolated. Some children may not like the Suzuki style since you aren't acquiring new skills as fast, you are learning new skills while working on previous concepts in long songs.

This book is a great next level in the Suzuki series for Violin. It has great pieces that are definitely more challenging than the book before it, like the Vivaldi, and truly gives the user space to improve. The only thing that is quite unfortunate is the amount of songs that are in the book. In the previous books, there are many different songs to play, but in book 4, there are significantly less; this may be because the songs are harder, but it would still be nice if there were more songs to work with. But overall, it is a great book for a student to work with.

I learned years ago on the Suzuki books and enjoy their teaching method. The books get progressively harder and use classical music to teach skills. What I really like about the Suzuki books is they select pieces with progressive levels of difficulty so that your skillsets build upon each other. Revisiting this book after not playing for a few years has been wonderful because of the style and teaching included. I'd recommend this book for improving your violin playing!
