Cello Playing for Music Lovers provides beginners and intermediate students with an authoritative, step-by-step guide to learning to play the cello. The book includes musical examples from folk, Broadway and classical traditions. It illustrates correct playing positions with twenty photos.

The book starts from scratch with songs transcribed for beginners and advances gradually to 4th position Included are folk songs, hymns, Broadway standards like Some Enchanted Evening, and classical selections like a Bach Prelude and Sarabande.

Good explanation, clear instructions and useful guidance for learners
I am so pleased with this book as I am teaching myself the cello and this book has provided the clearest explanation compared to other books for student cellists. I am also a middle aged adult learner and so the book is just right for me. The pieces so far are a pleasure to play, whilst helping me to practice my technique. It is so nice that it’s not aimed at primary school children. I’ve only had it a week but I think it’s a great book so far!
