Rick Mooney: Thumb Position for Cello Book 1: Cello: Instrumental Tutor

Position Pieces for Cello, Book 2 fills the pedagogical gap between the first book of Position Pieces and the two Thumb Position for Cello books in that it covers the fifth, sixth, and seventh positions. Position Pieces for Cello, Book 2 systematically introduces ways to find the correct location of each position and also to understand the various finger patterns required. As with Mr. Mooney's other books, this is accomplished in an enjoyable and creative manner through the use of cello duets. With titles like Surfing Cellos, Jumping Flea, and The Happy Certified Public Accountant, these pieces are really fun for students to play! This book will prove to be an indispensable tool for intermediate level cello students.
