Join the Suzuki Association of NSW
(Takao only teaches Suzuki financial members)
Please visit our Suzuki NSW official website Click
------STOP PRESS-------
Please use official Suzuki Recording as follows
Official Suzuki Cello CD (comes with the Book or buy separately)
or Official Suzuki Cello Music download (MP3 etc)
Please DO NOT use YouTube clip of someone playing the Suzuki pieces. Those clips are not best performance for our purpose and they cause unintended influence in your child. You can see my video clip to find out positions or fingerings, although my video is not for listening.
For listening, always use the official Suzuki CD that is recorded with an intended outcome in mind.

Practice buddy
Having an advanced level teen student or as a practice buddy to help regular practice works well.
You can bring your child to an agreed venue or have a buddy come to you. You pay a fractionally low rate as they are students.
The Practice Buddy can help your child's music reading, musicianship, music theory or cello practice. Practice buddy will support daily practice but not teach a new piece. I have a few advanced teen students who are suited for the task.
If you are interested in this, please contact me by email.
