Started learning the cello in early 2014; started Suzuki lessons in April at Creative Arts in Reading. This book has a companion CD. I love learning by ear, and memorizing all this music. Nice selection of pieces; helps you slowly add new skills. The Happy Farmer, 3rd to last, is crazy hard! Too discouraging for Book 1, though I finally got it to sound okay for a rank beginner.
It took me 3/4 of a year to get through this book - not that I mastered most of the songs - I imagine I'll revisit them over time and they will begin to sound good eventually! ;-)
