Suzuki Organ School 7

The first classical Organ method for children, the Suzuki Organ School is based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's Mother Tongue Method. The Suzuki Method® of Talent Education is based on Suzuki's view that every child is bornwith ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can expressall that is harmonious and best in human beings. Each series of books for a particular instrument in the Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki Organ School. The student listens totherecordings and work with their Suzuki Organ teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person.

This Suzuki Book & CD is essential for Suzuki Organ lessons. In certain pieces, the authors have placed smallphonetic signs above the notes to indicate differentiated non legato playing. In order to develop pedal technique, pedal melodies are included between every manual piece. The included performance CD for Volume 7 is a great toolfor Suzuki Organ lessons, encouraging practice while featuring recordings by Lars Hagström and Jeremy Chesman.
