Shinichi Suzuki (鈴木 鎮一 Suzuki Shin'ichi, 17 October 1898 – 26 January 1998) was the inventor of the international Suzuki method of music education.
He developed a philosophy for educating people of all ages and abilities & is considered an influential pedagogue in music education of children. Suzuki often spoke of the ability of all children to learn things well, especially in the right environment, and of developing the heart and building the character of music students through their music education.
Before his time, it was rare for children to be formally taught classical instruments from an early age and even more rare for children to be accepted by a music teacher without an audition or entrance examination. Not only did he endeavor to teach children the violin from early childhood and then infancy, his school in Matsumoto did not screen applicants for their ability upon entrance.
Suzuki was also responsible for the early training of some of the earliest Japanese violinists to be successfully appointed to prominent western classical music organizations. During his lifetime, he received several honorary doctorates in music including from the New England Conservatory of Music (1956), and the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, was proclaimed a Living National Treasure of Japan, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize.
that was amazing, well, in this volume the pieces started to have more techniques like shifting, gliss, trills, and so on, I don't really like bach's music so I expected to hate this cuz it's full of bach, but yeah I loved it and improved a lot tho!
personally, I think it's better to review the first 3 books before moving to book 4 that's why I'm gonna move on to Duets for Violins!
my favorite pieces here are humoresque by A.dvorak and bourre by bach.
