Beginner Method
Books
I've been asked to teach cello to an adult beginner. I'm a fine
player and musician -- no problem there. But I have no idea what
sort of method book(s) I should recommend for my pupil. With the
imminent demise of the local sheet music store, searching through
bins is getting a bit difficult. Can anybody recommend a good method
series for beginners?
Thanks!

I have had the opportunity to teach adult beginners, and usually
I've found it to be a very rewarding experience.

Re: Teaching
adult beginners
I am 29 and am looking for a teacher. Never touched a cello before
but always wanted to. What should I look for in a teacher and how do
I find one that is willing to teach an adult? what should I expected
to pay? Money is not really an issue though just curious. I am in
the Chicago area.

Re: Beginner
Method books
I'm on the receiving side of the lessons. I'm 53 and have been at
it a little over a year, I think. I have been impressed with Janice
Rhoda's books ("ABC's of Cello" [something like that] also violin
and viola). I think she was originally a Suzuki teacher and built
from that base.

Re: Beginner
Method Books
I am an adult who has been learning the cello for just under two
years. I have really enjoyed learning using the book: "The Art of
Cello Playing" by Louis Potter, Jr. It is logical in its format, it
goes through a sequence where you try to gain additional skills as
you go along. It helps to stir things up a little with a couple of
fun books of easy pieces to play, too. The Samuel Applebaum series
of books "Beautiful Music For Two String Instruments" has been
helpful as well. Hope this helps.

fruit
Does anybody know which book uses fruits and pies and stuff to get
rhythms? Im helping out one of my teacher's students and they have a
book that uses huckleberry for sixteenths and apple for eighths,
that kind of thing. I'm trying to figure out the name of the book
for some of my other students. Thanks in advance.
