Par RAE JAMES. INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP LEARNING All of these pieces for young cellists in their earliest stages of learning can be performed as a solo or in unison with others. Some have an optional 2nd part and may also serve as ensemble material. MIXED ENSEMBLE OPTION Whilst written specifically for the instrument and addressing the challenges beginners would encounter, a special section is included of four pieces which are 'key friendly' for beginners on most instruments and are therefore ideal pieces for mixed instrumental groups. These same four pieces appear in books for other instruments in the Debut series./ Recueil / Violoncelle

Par COHEN MARY / SPEARING ROBERT. Masterful duo Mary Cohen and Robert Spearing team up once again in this wonderful collection of original pieces for established beginner string quartet.
