Position Pieces for Cello is designed to give students a logical and fun way to learn their way around the fingerboard. Each hand position is introduced with exercises called "Target Practice," "Geography Quiz," and "Names and Numbers." Following these exercises are tuneful cello duets which have been specifically composed to require students to play in that hand position. In this way, students gain a thorough knowledge of how to find the hand positions and, once there, which notes are possible to play. Using these pieces (with names like "I Was a Teenage Monster," "The Irish Tenor," and "I've Got the Blues, Baby"), position study on the cello has never been so much fun!

J. S. Bach's two-part keyboard pieces form a significant body of musical literature, but only occasionally have they been arranged for strings. This carefully transcribed collection of violin duets and its two companion volumes – Duets for Two Violas (MB # 21438) and Duets for Two Cellos (MB #21439) – bring many additions, taken from Bach's suites, preludes, and inventions, to the string player's repertoire. Intermediate and advanced instrumentalists will delight in the musical complexity, contrapuntal dialogue, and variety of moods in these pieces.Since bowing and fingering preferences vary greatly among string players, editorial marks have been kept to a minimum. These arrangements are an attractive, valuable addition to string ensemble work.

Op. 73 by David Popper has long been a staple for cellists to master technique and be able to play with fluidity on the instrument. This new edition is made with the Friedrich Hofmeister plates from 1901-1905. This is the original printing as Popper himself would have viewed it.

New large print edition! (Regular edition is also available on Amazon.) Probably the only scale book you will ever need! Contains all 24 major and melodic minor scales AND arpeggios. Each scale and arpeggio has complete fingerings for one, two, and three octaves. It is very hard to find books that have one, two, and three octaves scales shown separately! Also includes some suggested bowing patterns, which are shown at the bottom of the page. Many books are in circle of fifths order, which is less practical. When students are working on F major, an easy scale, you must hunt for it way in the back. This book is organized in the order that most students will learn scales. The order (major scales) is C, G, F, D, Bb, etc. Each page has all of the scales and arpeggios for that key. This can start conversations about future playing: here's where you will be someday! By having the arpeggios on the same page as the scales, you can easily see the structure of chords as they relate to scales. It is helpful to show 1, 2, and 3 octave scales separately, but hard to find. Students can get confused if they are learning a one octave scale while seeing a two octave scale on the page. It is often hard for them to stop in the middle and pick it back up near the end.This book is meant to be easy to read and follow. The scales are not obscured with bowings or theory notations. The goal is simplicity, clarity, and completeness.

New cello students nearly always start in first position aided by finger tapes or guides for accurate finger placement. As they advance, they are expected to learn to shift out of first position, but the focus is on the movement of the shift rather than on note locations or pitch accuracy. In this book, author and versatile cellist Halley Feaster introduces a step-by-step approach to understanding each position, leading to thorough comprehension of the cello fingerboard and a more confident and well-rounded player. Together with its engaging video component, Cello Position Handbook shows advanced beginners and intermediate students what notes are available in each of 12 positions. Short exercises and excerpts are provided for practice in each location, ultimately enabling fluid performance without excessive shifting. On completion of this volume, students will be familiar with what notes are available in each position and be able to move comfortably between them while expanding their repertoires. Includes access to online video.
