This method is the second for cello beginners. It contains progressive exercises and small pieces, all in first position, but introducing the extensions. The cellist can in the same time practise the bowing and the left hand techniques, and educate his musical sense, the progression is very slow. Both volumes 1 and 2 observe the same spirit: go slowly and practise with pleasure. "What makes the originality and attractiveness of the Cello Method Micheline Cumant offers us is intelligently phased approach and the careful choice of popular or well-known themes that catch the attention of young cellist. I wish her all the success it deserves."
