Posted on November 2, 2009 at 5:38 PM If you want to get technical about it, the books, up until about Book 4, were conceived for pre-reading children, so the numbers are actually for parents. From Stephen Brivati
Posted on November 5, 2009 at 5:14 AM Greetings, Laurie, speaking of technical I have a seven year old student just come to me who hasn`t done suzuki learning for a while but is working through book four. I wa snot that familiar with this book but I find the selection of movements from Setz cocnertos really excellent. One this I noticed was the g major had an upper fingering in first position (perhaps the easy version?) and a lower fingering the utilized the first trhee positions very freely in brackets. I actually like this concept. One of the most importnat things I think we need to do is be able to learn passages in easy psoiton and and all the others at the same time. Its a great aid to technical development and interpretative power. The down side is I am not too happy with a studnet constantly seeing two fingerings while learning a piece . Mentally that is counterproductive in the long run. But I do want to know if this double fingering is new or has it always been aorund in the late Suzuki books? Cheers, Buri From Danielle Gomez
Posted on November 5, 2009 at 6:28 AM It has always been around. The books are laid out in a pedagogical fashion. Each piece builds on previously learned techniques and then adds one or two new ones. By book 4, my teacher just crossed out the fingering she didn't want me to look at. I ended up memorizing the piece anyway so the double fingerings made very little if any impact on my ability to read through the piece.
