Does anyone know where you can get the accompanying CD to the Suzuki Cello book one? I got the piano and cello parts from Musicroom, but they don't have the CD.

thanks.

Are they out of stock or not stocking it at all? Maybe the String Zone can help if you want an online shop? I have found them to be really good. Also Amazon has quite a range of Suzuki materials too.

Not there at all on musicroom, but I'll try string zone and amazon. Thanks!

If you don't have any luck with those, try the British Suzuki Institute at www.britishsuzuki.org.uk
I don't think there is an online music shop on the site but they are very friendly if you ring them up and will do mail order.

Another possibility is to try the Alfred site www.alfred.com, as they now publish the Suzuki materials. Only problem is that it is American - I have never been brave enough to order and organise dollar payment etc!

Found them on musicroom in the end. thanks for your replies everyone.

Great, how are you getting on?

Good, thanks. I used to just cheerfully play along with my son on the piano, but the CD offers a lot more - and it's not quite as forgiving as I am, ie. it doesn't slow down when he's got a tricky bit!

His teacher does quite a lot of the Suzuki, without being totally obsessed with it. He's managed to build up his aural sense really well, but I work on sight reading outside of his lessons to get that up to scratch, as it isn't really covered with Suzuki.

There is a Suzuki note reading book for cello which is very well thought out. I used it with my daughter and she became a competent sight-reader in a matter of months. (She wasn't actually using the Suzuki method but in France reading music is taught separately from the instrument and she had totally failed to make the connection between the theory and the instrument).

Thanks. I will look that up.
