Herein, youll find the theoretical and technical foundation for everything you need to creatively back up the lead players in a fiddle jam session, not to mention playing the lead yourself.

A book of solos for cello. Includes 15 songs (Celtic tunes, classical themes, folk melodies) for the beginner cellist. Created for students using Suzuki and similar methods. For students who play in first position only, and for those beginning to learn shifting.What makes this book special?
It includes:
1. Pieces in the low register of the cello. Beginner books often focus on the A and D strings.
2. More lyrical pieces, meaning more song-like, more Romantic than Baroque style.
3. A teacher accompaniment part. The students find it enjoyable, and it teaches them how important it is to listen and to play in time, in tune, and with dynamics. Can also be used for recitals.
4. Familiar tunes. What is familiar to one person is unknown to others, but I tried to put in pieces that many people would be familiar with.
5. Shifting with familiar tunes. When I was a student, I found it easier to learn a shift if the piece was familiar. My ear knew where to go. I have included a few pieces with two versions: first position and shifting . The student can learn the first position version and then be able to learn shifting with a familiar tune.
6. There is plenty of empty space on the pages for teachers to add markings.

El Noi de la Mare (The Child of the Mother) is a traditional Catalan Christmas song. Here it is arranged for solo Cello in the key of G major. The melody has been harmonized and elaborated upon. The tune is played first with the bow with some left hand pizzicato, and then strummed with pizzicato. The famous guitar arrangement by Miguel Llobet has served as inspiration. This arrangement has many chords and some artifical harmonics, and is suitable for advanced players. It would make a good piece for a solo recital or encore.
