Each step includes practical exercises, handy tips and tricks and a simple repertoire for students to put their reading skills into practice.

Book Description
Position Pieces for Cello is designed to give students a logical and fun way to learn their way around the fingerboard.

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!
