Violoncello Music for Beginners Vol. 3

This collection includes 43 short pieces, none of which have more than 3 sharps or 3 flats. The range of notes includes through 4th position to the harmonic. Time signatures and tempi vary, there are chords and doublestops, some ornamentation … It is what I call “lateral music” when you feel fluent in a range of notes but approach them differently in each work. People who play a method book (Suzuki) are surprised to see how many works they can’t play easily though they’d learned to play well the pieces in a given volume. This is not what many people would consider beginner material. Helpful fingerings are provided in this volume.

Violoncello Music for Beginners Vol. 2

Volume 2 includes 33 pieces, the majority of which have one or two sharps/flats, and a few with three. The rhythms are in an easier zone with fewer 16th notes and dotted rhythms. While most pieces can be played in first position, having fluency through 4th position allows for more fingering options. There are no fingerings provided in this volume, so it’s a good chance to test your own fingerboard geography (shout-out to Rick Mooney’s Position Pieces Book 1). Probably a good range of pieces for Suzuki 2-ish players who want to play a greater variety of music with that skill set.

Violoncello Music for Beginners Vol. 1

Edited by Pejtsik, this collection is wonderful for students looking for music that stays within first position but offers a variety of rhythms. This book does not have any suggested fingerings which (with any luck) they don’t need! Playing “by number” isn’t a habit one wants to get into, so this is a book that challenges you in a familiar range of notes.
