While learning Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, we discover that it's easier to learn while having a good time. With lots of happy practice, Chigo learns beautiful body balance and beautiful tone.

A Violin Surprise is the perfect book for any young violin student. Through the adventures of Chigo, and her animal friends we are guided through the violin basics, all with plenty of humor and joy. The language is kind and joyous and bursting with plenty of color. And the wonderful illustrations provide a perfect companion to the engaging story. I think this book shows that learning music can and should be a fun and loving experience- that can profoundly alter children's characters. Truly and wonderful book, a worthwhile read for young violinists and their parents.

This charming book, written by master Suzuki teacher Martha Shackford, will capture the imaginations of young violinists and their parents as they learn to play the violin with the Suzuki method. Filled with heart and humor, each chapter guides the reader through an important aspect of violin technique and also chronicles the journey of learning to work together within the triangular energy of parent, student, and teacher. The beautiful illustrations of the animals will be a treat for the students and the parents alike. I was truly moved by the care and sensitivity captured in every word. I strongly recommend this book for parents, and I believe that it will provide entertainment, information, and spark reflection for all that are involved in the Suzuki journey.

Wonderfully childish, and very helpful. The first four chapters seemed extra long to me and had nothing to do with playing violin and only animals chatting together. Buy the book and tell your student's parents to start reading the book at the start and preview the boring chapters, then start reading to you child at the chapter that is relevant to them.
