Q: What is SuperNova? 

​

A: SuperNova is an exhilarating composition by Dr. David Cutler that dramatically reimagines the 17 pieces from Suzuki Violin School, Volume 1. While melodies remain largely unchanged, rhythm section accompaniments are virtuosic, exploratory, and super fun, inspired by different music genres from around the globe (TANGO to TECHNO to BOOGIE to BAROQUE).

Q: Who is the ideal audience?

A: Though SuperNova integrates Suzuki Book 1 melodies, it offers enjoyment and education to beginning/intermediate/advanced students (and their teachers). Learn more here
