The Suzuki Method of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki’s vision that every child is born with abilities and that people are products of their environment. According to Shinichi Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can experience comes from developing a child’s potential so that they can express all that is best and harmonious in human beings. Students are taught using their native language. Each Suzuki Method book series for a particular instrument is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki Cello School. Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio with additional group lessons. The student listens to recordings and works with their Suzuki cello teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person.

This Suzuki book is integral to Suzuki cello lessons and includes the piano accompaniment parts. The final volume of the Suzuki Cello School consists of the Boccherini Concerto in B-flat major, Grutzmacher edition. A very special feature is the inclusion, exclusive to this edition, of Pablo Casals’s cadenza for the third movement. The book also includes initial warm-up exercises and practice tips.
