About this piece
This book teaches half position on the cello through exercises and relevant short pieces. Emphasis is on both shifting into half position and on learning the notes on across all four strings. While cello half position might be overlooked in some cello methods, the position occurs quite frequently in standard literature. Teachers, this book is great for familiarizing your beginning and early-intermediate students with a neglected position!
Technical overview
This intermediate cello position method teaches the notes and spaces in half position, both with shifting and with playing across strings.
