This collection brings together the core volumes of the series with multiple format options to suit different learning needs.
Who it's for

Things to consider
Start with Volume 1 if you're new to the Suzuki method; it introduces the fundamentals in a carefully sequenced way. The book-and-CD format works well for home practice, while the MIDI disk option gives you flexibility if you need accompaniment in a different key or tempo. Performance CDs are helpful for hearing reference recordings, especially if you're teaching multiple students or reinforcing correct tone and intonation.
