Download all the Suzuki Violin Book recordings -- for when you can't find the CD!
Where did the Suzuki CD go?
It's a question that my students and their parents seem to ask each other on a regular basis. Good news! As of last week, you can download all the recordings from Amazon! Since it's a pain to search for these on Amazon, I went to the trouble for you and have compiled this list of all the MP3 downloadable recordings available for the violin, viola, cello and bass Suzuki books.
With a roomful of Suzuki students!
You will notice there are a number of options available for violin. A word to the wise! Most teachers now use the Revised Editions, and the recording that corresponds to the Revised Editions is the newest one, the version by William Preucil. If you still are not sure which one to get, ask your teacher.

You ROCK Laurie!! Thanks for this list and article-VERY helpful!!
Thanks Laurie!! I'm posting a link to this on the SAA Discussion forums.
There is also a CD available by William Preucil for the revised edition of Suzuki Violin Book 6.
Thanks Laurie!
Hi Joyce, I didn't find that one available as an MP3 download -- hopefully it will be, soon! I'll revise this page as more become available; please e-mail me if you discover that another download is available that I haven't listed!
Thank you again, Laurie.
