The Cellists Guide To Scales and Arpeggios Book and Online Media
A Comprehensive, Systematic and Sequential Approach designed for Cellists of All Ages and Abilities
The Cellist's Guide to Scales and Arpeggios is a comprehensive book designed for cellists of all ages, experience levels, and abilities. It serves as a reliable resource for teachers, students, amateurs, and professionals alike.
The book presents a systematic syllabus of cello scales and arpeggios, starting from basic one-octave scales and progressing to more intricate and challenging scales. This publication stands out as one of the few that offers a complete and sequential guide specifically tailored for cellists.
In addition to the printed and electronic versions, this 140-page sourcebook includes a unique collection of drones that assist with intonation. Furthermore, it provides access to 41 instructional videos through QR codes.
These videos cover a wide range of cello techniques, including tuning, extensions, shifting, coordination exercises, velocity studies, and much more. This extensive multimedia support acts as a virtual presence of two university-level cello teachers, guiding and instructing the user on achieving a beautiful tone and precise intonation through scales and arpeggios.
