Course Materials
You will need a copy of the Suzuki violin volume 1 book and CD/mp3s:
If you are in New Zealand you can buy the book from me here:
Suzuki violin volume 1 (Revised Edition) book
If you are in another country (or in NZ) here are some other links where you can buy it. The newest edition is the "International Edition" with the recording by Hilary Hahn, but the "Revised edition" would also be OK. Note that I have had trouble buying the mp3s from New Zealand, probably to do with their license agreements (I think it was the Alfred link that worked for me). If you have trouble buying the mp3s do get in touch with me and I can probably help.
Book and CD together from Book Depository
Book by itself from Book Depository

A narrow A4 ringbinder folder with tabs can be a good way to keep your violin paperwork in order.
