62 Imaginative Pieces Designed to Secure Playing Technique & Build Confidence whilst Exploring a Variety of Music Styles 

Level: Early Elementary - Elementary

Stringtastic Cello Book 2 (Book and Online Audio) is an exciting resource for early elementary to elementary-level cello students. With 62 imaginative pieces, this book continues to build on the foundations established in Stringtastic Book 1, taking students from Grade 1 to Grade 2 while exploring a wide range of musical styles.

Part of the fully integrated Stringtastic series, this book allows violin, viola, cello, and double bass players to learn and perform together in any combination. The equal-level duets make it ideal for individual lessons, group tuition, and flexible ensemble or classroom settings.

Each piece comes with an engaging backing track and a piano-only track for practice, available for download. The teacher's accompaniment book provides complete piano scores that work seamlessly with any combination of instrumental parts. This book is a fantastic tool for building technique and confidence in advancing young cellists. 44 pages. 

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.
