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.

The first scale book to guide students of all levels in a step-by-step fashion through the most essential scale exercises. Rhythmic and bowing variations of gradually increasing difficulty take the monotony out of daily scale practice, and because each scale and associated scale work is located on facing pages, assigning scales has never been easier. Institutes a new approach to practicing octaves, thirds, and even tenths. Designed to help cellists achieve unparalleled command of even the most advanced techniques.

You can teach yourself to play the cello. This comprehensive, authoritative guide covers basics to Bach. Including 116 selections, it explains reading music, playing-by-ear and theory. Play-along CD.

Compiled by Alwin Schroeder, a former cellist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and an experienced teacher, this collection of 80 exercises constitutes the first book of a three-volume set. Schroeder drew upon his extensive experience to create original études for instructing students, and in this work he combines them with several others by his distinguished nineteenth-century European colleagues: Karl Schröder. Ferdinand Büchler, Friedrich Dotzauer, Auguste Franchomme, Friedrich Grützmacher, and Sebastian Lee. The carefully selected studies are arranged in order of increasing complexity, and Schroeder provides suggestions for fingering, bowing, and dynamics. Cello students and teachers will find these exercises a splendid resource for the improvement of technique and performance.

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!
