This book presents a systematic study of tenor clef for the intermediate cellist. The exercises teach one or two notes at a time, while corresponding pieces utilize the notes that were just learned. Much of the book focuses on the transition from bass to tenor clef on the cello, as well as the relationship between the two clefs. Teachers can use this book as a method for teaching the clef to their students, preparing them for tenor clef found in many intermediate and advanced cello pieces, including Saint-Saens' Allegro Appassionato and The Swan, and Vivaldi's Cello Concerto in E Minor.

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!

The Swan Study Book for Cello helps you learn and perfect every measure of the famous piece. The Swan is broken down into short sections and taught through carefully graded exercises.

The Swan Study Book gives you essential tools to be a better cellist. This book is appropriate for intermediate level cellists who can play up through eighth position and know some tenor clef.
