Thirds in Thumb Position for the Cello; Preparatory Studies

This book is an introduction to double-stop thirds in thumb position on the cello.

Focusing first on intonation and then on shifting, the book covers thumb-to-thumb shifting and fingered thirds.

Teachers can use this book to introduce thirds gradually and systematically to their advanced students. Thirds in Thumb Position for the Cello: Preparatory Studies was designed to give cellists a better knowledge of how to play thirds, and better intonation when they play thirds in solo literature.

After studying this book, the cellist can continue their studies with Thirds in Thumb Position for the Cello, Book One.
