The Korena take

The first two Suzuki cello volumes bound as one book. The usual starting point for a beginning cello student working with a teacher.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Brand-new cello students starting lessons
  • Parents buying the first book before a teacher's first lesson
  • Teachers stocking starter books for new students

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Students already past Volume 2 — buy the later volume instead
  • Accompanists, who need the separate piano accompaniment books
  • Self-teaching adults wanting written explanation rather than graded repertoire

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Volumes 1 & 2 in one book

Covers the first two stages without a second purchase. Roughly a year or more of material for many students.

Detail 02

International Edition

A specific revision of the series. Editions can differ in numbering, so match what your teacher uses.

Detail 03

Cello School

Cello student part. Parallel volumes exist for other instruments with the same numbers, so check the instrument.

Detail 04

Book format

Printed notation only. Nothing to download or activate. Sits flat enough on a music stand for lesson use.

Detail 05

$19.99

Costs a few dollars more than a single volume but carries two, so it works out cheaper than buying both.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Ask your teacher which edition they teach from before ordering
  2. 02Piano accompaniment parts are separate books, not included here
  3. 03You still need cello, bow, rosin and a stand

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this the right book to start cello?

Yes for the Suzuki method. Volume 1 is the entry point of the sequence, and this edition adds Volume 2 in the same book.

02What's the difference from buying Volume 1 alone?

This carries both Volume 1 and Volume 2, so you don't buy a second book when the student moves up.

03Does it come with a CD or audio?

This is the printed book. Nothing else is bundled with it, so plan on sourcing any listening material separately.

04What does International Edition mean for lessons?

It identifies which revision of the series you're getting. Since editions can differ in numbering, confirm your teacher uses the same one.
