Thanks, Kerstin – how lovely and uplifting!
I’m very used to enjoying playing that on recorder, of course, and your recording brings back memories of the many times and places I have done so.

Many thanks for a nice Christmas present.
I stayed registered because I wanted to order from germansuzuki website some time ago but the system did not function successfully.
In the end I ordered from Alfred UK and we have all the volumes of Step By Step and My First Trio Book. My daughter loves your books, we are in 1B and will get probably to 2A in early summer.
We are not yet at the level of your Christmas gift but we will get there and we look forward to publishing Step By Step 4A (if planned) and Enjoying Violin Technique.
With Best Wishes for Christmas and Happy New Year,
Pavel Spacek
Suzuki parent (probably the only one) in the Czech Republic.
Dear Pavel,
Thank you for your friendly words. It seems that you are a pioneer in the Czech Republic. If you have any questions or if you need some help, please let me know.
There is one point I would like to clarify:
There will be no STEP by STEP, vol. 4, but there is another series helpful for students in Suzuki Book 4 and up. It is called
Recital Training, volumes 1, 2, 3 (3 is not published yet.)
Edition Peters
Volume 1 is suitable for students in Suzuki Book 4.
Volume 2 is suitable for students in Suzuki Book 5.
Volume 3 is suitable for students in Suzuki Book 6.
Please find some information here: https://en.germansuzuki.com/?page_id=197
The repertoire ranges from Baroque solo concertos to foot-stomping fiddle pieces and includes pieces for one, two and three violins, predominantly with piano accompaniment.
All of the pieces found in books 4-6 of the Suzuki Violin School are included in these volumes.
Dear Pavel, I wish you and your family all the best!
Kerstin Wartberg
Many thanks for the delightful present! It’s a wonderful addition to your published works, which are in great demand at my studio.

Thank you so much!

My personal résumé of this action and all the reactions is:
What a beautiful arrangement and performance…
This music and especially your playing really touched my heart.
Together with this wonderful sculpture it gives an idea of eternal harmony.
My students will love playing this. It is very helpful to have all the different instrumentation possibilities.
I agree with Mariana Dimitrova from Washington: “It is a wonderful addition to your published works, which are in great demand at my studio.”
Thank you so much for this very kind and thoughtful gift which is appreciated by so many persons from all over the world. I found comments from Poland, USA, Germany, Denmark, France, Czech Republic, Austria, Great Britain, Brazil, Thailand, Hawaii, Argentina and Italy.
This great resonance made me thinking: Why are so many persons reacting?
Dr. Suzuki gives us the answer in his book:
What is man‘s ultimate direction in life?
It is to look for love, truth, virtue,
and beauty.
Shinichi Suzuki
Many thanks again!
