The first books in Eugenie’s acclaimed series for beginner Cellists. 20 pieces written in the familiar styles of boogie, swing and ragtime, with each new technical point introduced in a progressive sequence of small manageable steps. CD backing tracks are included, and piano accompaniment books are available separately. Beginning with the open strings, each piece introduces a new note and a variety of bowing patterns and technical skills progressively until the 0 1 23 finger pattern is reached on all strings. The rhyming lyrics assist in learning rhythmic patterns while the included CD is a valuable tool in the students practice at home or to accompany performances.
