Product Description
Studies for Beginning Cello Students
Studies that build ones skills from open strings to using all four fingers.
This volume is a collection of studies from various cellists. Those names being: Hugo Schlemueller, Carl Schroeder, Sebastian Lee, Anton Hegner, and Hermann Heberlein. Also included are several Folk songs as well as the famous "Ode To Joy" by the great Beethoven.
Sometimes a collection such as this are useful in that they focus the students attention on a particular set of skills. In this case, I have carefully chosen and arranged each study so as to build the skills from the open strings up to using all four fingers of the left hand.
Students normally find mastering one or two fundamental skills at a time much more doable and more motivating. There are many methods available but few collections that are short, remain in the level of ability for beginners, and proceed in achievable steps.
This volume was created after years of teaching and seeing how useful such an incrementally arranged set of studies can be for the student.
Whether a student achieves the skill in question for a certain study in a day or a week, the usefulness of the exercise remains the same.
