Double Stop Shifting for the Cello, Book One

Strengthen Your Left Hand by Shifting in Double Stops!

Double Stop Shifting for the Cello, Book One teaches double stops on the cello, focusing on shifting in sixths and thirds through the first four positions.

Using short exercises that very gradually increase in difficulty, specific concepts are taught to the intermediate cellist, including shifting from a closed position to an extended (stretched) position in double stops.

Useful for improving intonation and developing left-hand strength, Double Stop Shifting for the Cello, Book One also prepares the cellist for double stop playing in cello repertoire, including pieces such as the Monn Cello Concerto in G Minor and the Haydn Cello Concerto in D Major.

This book could be followed by Sixths for the Cello, Book One.
