im on volume 10.

Volume 1 . . and I stopped halfway through ._.

I have no idea what this method is but JF7X sounds good. Why don't you do the Ichigos band thing then because you sound like the best here.

actually being on # 10 isnt really much.

How many books are there?

...Suzuki... I never played Suzuki, but I know that if I had, I'm done with them now. I've looked at the music and stuff... I like Kaiser better, personally. It's harder, but it's also more disciplined. Kaiser is also origional compositions for Etudes, rather than songs from other composers simplified into a book. At least, that's what the later books are. I don't know how many there are, though.

I'm on volume 2....I didn't even know it went all the way up to ten.... :sweatdrop:

isnt kasier all about technical stuff of music?

Finished Suzuki a while ago... :mellow: ....... :lol:

In that case YOU can tell me how many books there are!

There are 10 but there are also other *branching* books. I can&#39;t really explain the other books. >.<

Ah thanks&#33; You must be good then.

JF7X - it&#39;s nice that you&#39;re modest.

Precisely. (Actually... it&#39;s "Kayser." My mistake... I spelled it like a German officer. :sweatdrop: )

I prefer to work with Kayser because it is technical. Suzuki seemed to me to be too imprecise; one of my friends in the lower orchestras played her jury out of Suzuki, and it just didn&#39;t seem to be all that good for improving technique. I don&#39;t mean to belittle the skills of students learning on the Suzuki method; that&#39;s not it at all. What I mean is, the focus seems to be more on performance than on skill level, and there is so much music for performing, but not so much for improving yourself. So I play etudes from Kayser, one or two a week since I have so much else to do right now @_@ and I&#39;ll play a solo, currently Mozart&#39;s Fifth, and orchestra pieces.

Unfortunately, the orchestra I am currently in has decided to give me 31 pages of intermediate to difficult music... I&#39;m so tired&#33;

:P I&#39;m afraid I still have to work on my modesty... at school, I&#39;m considered only halfway to the top, but to the rest of the world... I&#39;m a heckuva lot better than your average 15 year old. I&#39;m so used to looking up to and being jealous of that big class of prodigies that are getting hired by big name Vegas hotels at sixteen that I forget myself sometimes. I apologize. :blush:
