Reading Music: A Guide for Suzuki Violin Students was created specifically for students learning to play the violin through the Suzuki approach, following Suzuki's educational principles and using the Suzuki repertoire as a point of reference.
Reading Music begins with exploration of essential concepts; beat, rhythm, meter, the musical alphabet and the staff and leads students to a thorough understanding of how to read pitch, rhythm and basic bowing notation.
Reading concepts are introduced one at a time, and students are given ample opportunity to work with and absorb each one through a multifaceted approach that incorporates enjoyable music, movement, writing, ensemble playing, and games.
