This
pupil's book provides a
lively and comprehensive
introduction to the very
first steps of playing
the cello.
All
the titles in the
Abracadabra series work
in conjunction with each
other, making them ideal
forensemble, group and
whole class tuition. Used
alone they remain perfect
for individual lessons.
The book
contains activities,
games and pieces that
teach the fundamentals of
playing the cello: good
posture (with andwithout
the instrument), bow
hold, finger position and
pitch awareness as well
as developing rhythm and
notation reading. The CD
also aids pitch
development with
performances of the
pieces and backing tracks
to motivate
pupilstopractise pieces
and activities outside of
their lessons. The basics
are constantly reinforced
and revisited with the
pupils building up to
'performance pieces' that
combine and showcase all
of the skills they have
developed.
