Detail 02
Suzuki method
Built on listening and imitation before reading, so recorded reference is central to how it is meant to be used.

International Edition
The current revised edition. Teachers usually specify this one, so page and track numbers line up in lessons.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a CD?
No. This is the book. Suzuki sells recordings separately, and the method depends heavily on listening, so ask your teacher what audio to get.
02Can I learn from this on my own?
The Suzuki method is built around a teacher and repeated listening. Working through the book alone leaves out most of how it is designed to function.
03What age is Volume 1 for?
It is the first volume of the graded series and is used with students beginning piano, commonly young children starting lessons.
04Is the International Edition different from older printings?
It is the current revised edition. Teachers generally specify it so everyone in a studio is working from the same pagination.
