This book contains a selection of fiddle tunes arranged for the beginning cello player. The idea is to supply a sampling of melodies that will give almost instant gratification to the novice. One of the drawbacks of the classic way of teaching cello is the boredom of some of the early pedagogic repertoire. This book is meant to be an antidote to that tedium. Fiddle tunes are great ways to become accustomed to typical manipulations of major scales and to introduce the sound of arpeggios. The only technical requisite for the music is the ability to play a major scale of some sort. The tunes were chosen for their fun melodic content while demonstrating some typical aspects of fiddling. They are grouped by key with a couple of exceptions and roughly arranged in order of difficulty within each key group. The included split-track CD demonstrates many of the tunes with guitar accompaniment and will help teach the swing phrasing.

This book is GREAT!,
This review is from: Mel Bay Fiddle Tunes for Beginning Cello Book/Cd Set (Paperback)
This book is so much fun for the beginning Cellist. For 30 minutes a day, the beginner can feel like a professional. The tunes are fun and peppy and challenging ALL at the same time. If you really want to enjoy learning to play the Cello, this book is a MUST.

This review is from: Mel Bay Fiddle Tunes for Beginning Cello Book/Cd Set (Paperback)
It is pretty hard to find cello music that is not classical or a duet with another instrument. That is why I like this book. It is informative and great for semi-beginners. I say this because some of the fingerings are severely off. I really like the music in this book but just wish they would fix the fingering problem. Overall though, it is a pretty good book.
