Here is a list of supplies you will need to begin lessons. Order the Suzuki Violin Book 1 with Hilary Hahn CD and begin listening as soon it arrives. Recordings are also available for download through Apple Music. It will be enormously helpful to have the music already flowing through the mind of your child by the time of their first lesson.
