Summary: Strings & Scales
Comment: I'm an Adult Student and very interested in Beginning Cello Instruction books. If you don't know how to read music well - I found this book to be very helpful in explaining obscure things needed to read music. Other nicities the symbol for up bow and down, learning rests, etc. No book is as good as a teacher but this helps compliment them. It includes all those minutia but crucial points they seem to cram in a lesson and in the beginning we seem to forget.

Summary: Bueno
Comment: Es un buen libro pero no comparto el hecho de enseñarles a los chicos a tocar números en vez de notas en un pentagrama. Justamente cuando tienen todo un mundo desestructurado por delante, enseñar números de dedos no me parece correcto. Hace tocar melodías totalmente escritas con números, sin figuras.

Summary: Not For Adults
Comment: I am a middle-aged writer/artist who bought this book hoping it would teach me something about the cello I recently rented and am trying to learn to play. This book, unfortunately for me, turned out to be a visual teaching aid for cello instructors who specialize in very young students who are amused by songs about eating hot dogs. It is my dream to play Luigi Boccherini well some day . . . ditties like Merrily We Roll Along are not the way I wanted to get started. The book has only two pages (simple drawings of a cello and bow) that contain any information whatsoever about the instrument, and one of those pages recommends games which encourage children to handle their bow like a toy, to be waved about like a worthless stick. If your child has a good bow, this is a very bad way to treat a valuable piece of musical equipment.
