DESCRIPTION:
Of course, young adults can also learn from Cello Playing for Music Lovers. There's a saying that dancers do not age while they are dancing. Here, written out, are the fundamentals from a learner s perspective. Many years ago, during my four years at the incomparable High School of Music and Art in New York City, I treasured my opportuni
The songs include Some Enchanted Evening, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, My Funny Valentine, Hava Nagila and Shenandoah. Your general emphasis on physical relaxation and enjoyment of the process seems right on the mark for me. She provides the key and the starting note. Cello Playing for Music Lovers is not just a great manual for students but also for teachers of adult beginners who seek a more wide-ranging source. I certainly did not find anything in the content controversial or likely to lead a beginning student astrayThe way I see it, the more a student knows outside of lessons, the more the teacher can cover other things during the lesson. The melodies as presented often (but not always) use open strings, lower positions, and (early in the book) no vibrato, as befitting the level of the student. It contains several fin
Cello Playing for Music Lovers provides beginners and intermediate cellists with an authoritative, step-by-step guide to learning how to read music and play it on your cello.

A Must Have for Serious Cellists This book is amazing, not only is it a really good technical manual for playing the cello, but it coaches the physical and emotional mind set to enable the reader to get out of their own way and really play. I've checked out many books of this sort and I have never found one that gets into the posture and the mental and physical relaxation need to play really well.

"Great teaching/learning guide for cello" according to DP. This is an excellent book for learning to play cello. I have been using this book for about 18 months now, and I am nearing completion.
