Written for the cellist looking for an approach that demystifies cello playing, Cello, Bow and You is an innovative text in the field of string pedagogy written by a 40+ year veteran of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and certified teacher of the Alexander Technique. Author Evangeline Benedetti has a unique voice and approach, and invites cellists of all levels to explore, make discoveries and organically internalize technique. Benedetti's approach compliments the work that students do with their teachers by encouraging them to be more aware of themselves and responsive to internal and external guidance. Cello, Bow and You allows students and professionals access to Benedetti's vast performance and teaching experience. She has pioneered an approach to playing that is a synthesis of the cellist's musical thought, the knowledge of the dynamic properties of the instrument and bow, and the ability to move effectively according to the mechanics of the human body. The synergy of these elements leads to physically healthy playing and frees players to be musically expressive. Written in engaging, informal prose, the book is a must-read for cellists and cello teachers - beginning, intermediate, or professional.

Prepared and edited by Rick Mooney, a well-known Suzuki teacher, teacher-trainer and member of the Suzuki Cello Committee, these books contain harmony parts to go with many of the pieces in the Suzuki Cello School, Volumes 1, 2 and 3. All of these pieces have been arranged to resemble, as much as possible, the existing piano accompaniments. These ensembles enable a cello teacher (who does not play or have access to a piano) to play harmony parts with students to prepare them for the time when a piano and pianist are available. Also, these parts give additional challenges for the more advanced player during a group lesson. Volume 1 contents are: * Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Theme and Variations (Shinichi Suzuki) * French Folk Song (Folk Song) * Song of the Wind (Folk Song) * Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Folk Song) * O Come, Little Children (Folk Song) * May Song (Folk Song) * Allegro (Shinichi Suzuki) * Perpetual Motion (Shinichi Suzuki) * Long, Long Ago (T.H. Bayly) * Andantino (F.J. Gossec) * Rigadoon (H. Purcell) * Etude (Shinichi Suzuki) * Minuet in C, No. 11 in G Major from Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (J.S. Bach) * Maytime (cello duet), Komm Lieber Mai from Sehnsucht nach dem Frühlinge, K. 596 (W.A. Mozart) * Maytime (cello quartet) (W.A. Mozart) * Minuet No. 2 from Minuet in G Major, BWV 116 (J.S. Bach)

Louis R. Feuillard (1872–1941) has become known chiefly as the teacher of Paul Tortelier who called him a man with an extraordinary educational instinct. His 'Daily Exercises' take up the most important aspects of the cello technique, such as exercises in neck and thumb positions, double stops and bowing exercises. It is particularly because of the logical structure of the exercises that they have been among the standard works of violoncello study literature since their publication in 1919.
