German.

Finally a modern collection of folk tunes for violoncello! The songs come from England, Ireland, Scotland, Russia, Italy, France, Spain and the USA. Popular melodies such as 'Auld lang syne' and 'Oh happy day' are set in easy arrangements and can be played on various occasions, be it at home, at school, or in an ensemble. The arrangements can also be played with an additional second part.

Includes 15 pieces for the beginner cellist.Specially created for students using Suzuki and similar methods. For studentswho 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 booksoften focus on the A and D strings.
2. More lyrical pieces, meaning more song-like, more Romanticthan Baroque style.
3. A teacher accompaniment part (teacher edition only). Thestudents find it enjoyable, and it teaches them how important it is to listenand 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 unknownto 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, Ifound it easier to learn a shift if the piece was familiar. My ear knew whereto go. I have included a few pieces with two versions: first position andshifting . The student can learn the first position version and then be able tolearn shifting with a familiar tune.
6. There is plenty of empty space on the pages for teachersto add markings.
7. Created by a cello teacher for cellists. Not adaptedfrom another instrument. Tested by real students.
