Teach viola with the popular Suzuki Violin School. The Suzuki Method® of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Shinichi Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the "mother-tongue" approach. Each series of books for a particular instrument in the Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki Viola School. Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio setting with additional group lessons. The student listens to the recordings and works with their Suzuki viola teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person.

This Suzuki book is integral for teaching the Suzuki viola method and features recordings by William Preucil accompanied by Doris Preucil.

Why we love this

This volume pairs essential Suzuki pedagogy with recordings that students can trust. Preucil's viola sound models the kind of warm, centered tone that viola students should aspire to, while his arrangements respect both the repertoire and the developmental level of the player. The inclusion of Bach alongside technical exercises grounds even early Suzuki study in meaningful music.

What to expect

Stepping into the viola literature of Bach and Marais, even in adapted form, gives students a sense of musicianship beyond simple note-reading. The exercises develop focused sound and secure intonation while pieces like the Allemande and Minuets from the Cello Suite offer genuine musical satisfaction alongside technical growth.

Who it's for

Suzuki viola students working through Volume 6 with a qualified teacher in private lessons and group settings. This repertoire builds on foundational volumes and introduces more substantial works from the baroque and renaissance periods, engaging intermediate-level students.

How to get the most out of it

Listen to the recordings multiple times before tackling a new piece, paying attention not just to the notes but to how Preucil shapes phrases and manages intonation across shifts.
Use the tonalization and scale exercises as your foundation for every practice session, applying the same attention to sound quality and precision that Preucil demonstrates on the recordings.
Work with your teacher to map out the technical demands of pieces like the Bach movements before performance, ensuring you understand the harmonic context even as you focus on reading the viola line.

How to use it

Integrate Volume 6 into your Suzuki program's sequential curriculum alongside group classes and ensemble opportunities. Students ready for this level benefit from performing selections in studio recitals or ensemble concerts, where the baroque repertoire complements both solo and ensemble contexts.
