Attn Late Book 5 Violin Students!

2010-10-11T13:32:00.003-04:00

I just wanted to give you a heads up about Book 6 (since some of you will be there soon). There are 2 non-Suzuki pieces that we have added to the Book 6 curriculum: Tempo Di Minuetto by Kreisler and Polish Dance by Severn. You'll all need to purchase the music and recordings of these 2 pieces.

For Tempo, I'd recommend purchasing the sheet music of this piece, and the CD "The Kreisler Album" by Joshua Bell. For Polish Dance, I'd recommend getting the book & CD Volume 4 from Barbara Barber's "Solos for Young Violinists" collection. You'll most likely need other pieces from this collection, so it is a worthwhile investment at this point.
