I Can Read Music: For Cello, Volume I

Since I can already read music in treble clef, and merely want practice reading bass clef on with my "chin cello" (octave violin), I returned Vol 1 and ordered Vol 2 instead.

Needs to come with noise cancelling headphones for those rough first few months of scratchy string sounds.

Volumes 1 and 2 have been very helpful to me. Please read my review of both volumes in my Volume 2 review. I'm a late starter cello student (at age 70). After I shared these books with my cello teacher, she starter using these two volumes with some of her other students. She also assigns some sections to me now. I independently use parts of these two volumes every practice session between lessons, along with the new pieces I'm learning. My cello teacher says that I am way ahead of where she expected me to be. I give the credit to these two volumes, my teacher, and my hard work practicing between lessons.

I like how this book slowly introduces the notes that are being learned and that it is easy for a student who has been using suzuki method to quickly follow along with the knowledge they already have. I imagine it would also be useful for a child 10+ who is just beginning to play cello as well.

My 9-year old daughter is working her way through this book, and it is going well. She is able to complete one lesson a day in about ten minutes. The lessons are very gradual and do not overwhelm her. She has been working in this book for 2 months and is already able to easily read notes on the D and G string as well as half, quarter, eight, and sixteenth notes. Great book.

Adult learner here, my instructor, has it and I like "playing" learning from it.

As expected, I bought it for my daughter, she the one that plays the cello.

no cd came with the book

Really clear way to learn the notes and rhythm at first separately.Helped my daughter to read music in a non stressful way.

un metodo molto graduale diviso in lezioni progressive che accostano una pagina di lettura delle note auna di lettura del ritmo. mio figlio si diverte moltissimo a eseguire le parti ritmiche con vari strumenti a percussione.

Secuencias de estudio de las básicas a las avanzadas, los pentagramas vienen de gran tamaño para la rápida ubicación e identificación de notas, muy útil para la lectura melódica y rítmica

I purchased the book, which is excellent (no complaint about it at all). However, when I received the book, it was black and white, not white and green as seen on the picture. Each instrument has it's own color coding. Green is for Cello. I received a copy of the actual book which is not what I paid for. Very disappointed.

Partituras e notas grandes, que facilitam a leitura por parte do estudante.
