The end goal with the Suzuki method is not only to become a great musician but to become a good-hearted and moral person who embraces challenges. The author, Georgia Vale, made this series of educational books because she didn’t find any books that worked well for her and her students when she was teaching. She began creating her own violin books for beginners. After she started to use Hey Presto with her students, she immediately got really good reactions from them, and they became more engaged.
