About this piece
Discover a whole new way to learn cello scales! Are you ready to learn three-octave scales on the cello? Do you want a better sense of fingerboard geography? Are you tired of guessing where notes in the higher positions are? This book can help! Using a carefully planned series of exercises, this book teaches the notes and spaces in all of the three-octave major, melodic minor, harmonic minor, and chromatic scales on the cello. After practicing these exercises, your hand can have a much better grasp of where the notes are in each scale and how to reach those notes consistently and precisely. The book uses bass, tenor, and treble clef and would be most helpful for late-intermediate or advanced cellists. How to use this book: Play 2-4 pages near the beginning of your practice, after finger exercises and before other exercises and etudes.
