Mellow Cello - 18 Tuneful And Jazzy Pieces For The Beginner Celli
Mellow Cello's tracks are designed to offer an introduction to jazz and popular music styles for young cellists, whether they are beginners or at a slightly more advanced level. The first pieces only use open strings, both in pizzicato and in the bow: the cellist gains experience in counting rests as well as in exploring the four strings. Pieces 4 through 9 involve the fingers, starting with the first finger only, until all four are used. The pieces in the second half of the book allow the cellist to explore a variety of styles of jazz. A piano accompaniment part is included for concerts.
