This transposition of the SUZUKI VIOLIN SCHOOL makes available to the 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.
