Are you ready to embark on a musical journey that's as fun as it is educational? Look no further than the Stringtastic Beginners Cello Book and Online Audio. This exciting series is designed to teach you the art of playing the cello through engaging exploration of various musical styles.

Stringtastic Beginners is a fully integrated series, which means that whether you play the violin, viola, cello, or double bass, you can all learn and play together in any combination. It's a musical adventure that encourages collaboration and creativity.

Inside this book, you'll discover over 40 imaginative pieces carefully crafted to help you establish a secure playing technique and build confidence step by step. Whether you're a complete beginner just starting with open strings or progressing to playing the notes of the D major scale, Stringtastic Beginners has you covered.

The first 20 pieces in the book are unique because they offer two independent tunes that can be played as duets. One part is designed for open strings, perfect for beginners, while the other part incorporates left-hand fingerings, providing a more advanced challenge. You can revisit these duets as you progress on your musical journey, making learning the cello a rewarding experience.

Stringtastic Beginners is not just for individual learning but also ideal for group tuition, flexible ensemble playing, and classroom settings. Every piece in the book is accompanied by exciting backing tracks, allowing you to immerse yourself in the world of music. You can even practice with piano-only tracks, honing your skills and mastering your craft.

As an added bonus, the teacher's book provides complete piano accompaniments that seamlessly work with any combination of instrumental parts, making it a valuable resource for educators and mentors.

Review:

Mark Wilson and Paul Wood have developed an engaging and accessible new series of string-playing method books. The presentation will appeal to young learners, and the careful, well-conceived pedagogy will thrill their teachers! Furthermore, the Stringtastic integrated approach gives proper deference to the social aspect of music-making by allowing violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists to play together from the start. I look forward to sharing this method with my young students and colleagues in early music education. - Dr. Mark Elliot Bergman, Director of Strings and Orchestral Studies, Sheridan College.
