 INTRODUCTION

FOR THE STUDENT: This material is part of the worldwide Suzuki Method of
teaching. Companion recordings should be used with these publications. In
addi- tion, there are piano accompaniment books that go along with this
material.

FOR THE TEACHER: In order to be an effective Suzuki teacher, a great deal of

ongoing education is required. Your national Suzuki association provides
this for its membership. Teachers are encouraged to become members
of their national Suzuki associations and maintain a teacher training
schedule, in order to remain current, via institutes, short-term programs
and long-term programs. You are also encouraged to join the
International Suzuki Association.

FOR THE PARENT: Credentials are essential for any teacher you choose. We
recommend you ask your teacher for his or her credentials, especially those
relat- ing to training in the Suzuki Method. The Suzuki Method experience
should be a positive one, where there exists a wonderful, fostering
relationship between child, parent and teacher. So choosing the right
teacher is of the utmost importance.

In order to obtain more information about the Suzuki Method, please contact
your country's Suzuki Association; the International Suzuki Association at
3-10-15 Fukashi, Matsumoto City 390, Japan; The Suzuki Association of the
Americas, P.O. Box 17310, Boulder, Colorado 80308; or Summy-Birchard Inc., c/o
Warner Bros. Publications, 15800 N.W. 48th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33014, for current
Associations' addresses.

Under the guidance of Dr. Suzuki since 1978, the editing of the Suzuki Cello School is a
 continuing cooperative effort of the Cello Committees from Talent
Education Japan, the European Suzuki Association and the Suzuki
Association of the Americas.

The Four Main Points for Study
1. Have the children listen daily to the records of the music they are studying. This listening helps them to
make rapid
progress.
2. Tonalization is included in each lesson and is a part of the daily practice
at home.
3. Have the children play the second, third, and fourth position with accurate changes and
intonation.
4. In Vol. III attention should be paid to ends of
phrases.
Tonalization

Each lesson begins with tonalization. Tonalization is stressed in order to improve and refine the tone. During
the lesson use both bowing alternatives (down and up V) for beginning each exercise.
