Suzuki Book 1, Suzuki Method

Andantino

I finally got to record my progress for song number 11 in the Suzuki lesson book 1. This is how I play Andantino so far. I can’t emphasize enough on how useful it is to record one’s progress. It helps me notice what I have improved on and other details that I still need to work on as well.
