Detail 01
Includes a CD
Recordings are core to the method, not a bonus. Daily listening is how the pieces are learned before playing them.

SuzukiSuzuki Piano School International Edition Piano Book and CD, Volume 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Volume 1 of the Suzuki piano method, book plus CD. Built for students working with a teacher who learn by listening first.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students starting Suzuki lessons with a certified teacher
- Parents supporting a young child's daily practice at home
- Learners who absorb music by ear before reading it
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Self-teaching adults — Suzuki assumes a teacher and parent
- Anyone who wants note reading taught from lesson one
- Players wanting a fast route to pop songs and chords
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 02
International Edition
The current standardized edition, so it matches what most teachers are using rather than an older revision.
Detail 03
Volume 1
The entry point. Suzuki students move through numbered volumes in order, so this is where a teacher will start you.
Detail 04
Suzuki method
Ear-first, repetition-heavy, and parent-involved. Reading comes later, which is a real departure from standard methods.
Detail 05
$24.99
Costs more than a plain lesson book because the recordings are included and central to how it's used.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Designed around a teacher — going it alone misses most of the method
- 02CD only; you may want to rip the tracks to a phone for daily listening
- 03No instrument included, and daily practice access matters more here than usual
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this without a teacher?
You can play the pieces, but Suzuki is built around teacher guidance and parental involvement. Alone, you'll miss most of it.
02Does it include the CD?
Yes. This is the book and CD package, and the recordings are part of how the method works.
03Is Volume 1 for total beginners?
Yes. It's the first book in the piano sequence and starts from the beginning.
04Is the International Edition the current one?
Yes. It's the standardized edition teachers work from, so page and piece references will line up in lessons.
