Things to consider
Start with Volume 1 regardless of student age; the Suzuki method builds technique systematically from the ground up. Pair the student book with the performance CD so students can hear proper tone and intonation before they play. If you teach multiple bass students, the MIDI disk for Volume 1 gives you flexibility to transpose or adjust tempos for individual learners.
