When it comes to jazz, most people do not immediately think of the cello. However, the cello is a versatile instrument that can play jazzy tunes just as effectively as a violin, and can also provide the strong bass line so important in this style of music. Mellow Cello introduces young cellists to the joy of jazz in a series of tuneful original pieces which progress from open string pizzicato to more challenging rhythms. With the lively piano accompaniments and the accompanying CD, they offer an ideal way for beginners to enter the world of jazz.

More Cello Fun picks up where Cello Fun left off - with 15 easy viola pieces for the second year student. The lower string is not used and the fingering patterns - while still simple - are now combined. Several new rhythmic challenges are explored. The attractive accompaniments on the CD and the wonderful illustrations give this book extra appeal.

These 15 easy pieces for cello can either be practiced unaccompanied or with the play-along CD. This music is ideal for your first mini-concert or recital!
