TO THE STUDENT To all the 'cello pupils who use this book:

This is a personal letter to you. I want you to read it and carry out carefuHy what I have asked you to do, and during the year let me know, through your teacher, how you are progressing.

Having completed the study of Book I, you should be thoroughly familiar with the fundamentals of good 'cello playing, such as a good position, correct use of the fingers through the proper position of the left hand, r.nd the elementary principles of bow control.

Book II includes a continuation of the elementary material, presenting slightly more advanced exercises and pieces, introducing the Srd, 4th and 5th positions.

To be better able to play the familiar melodies and pieces, it is recommended that you carefully prepare the purely technical exercises at the heginning of each lesson where a new key and finger-placing is introduced.

Study carefully the diagrams introducing new keys and fingerings so as to properly place your fingers for the new notes. Remember, that you must first read the note and then place the finger, so be sure to know exactly what note you are reading and the proper finger-position for that note. The surest way to play well is to be able to read well.

To be able to think quickly, the following points regarding each note will make you a better player and will make yom path to good 'cello playing easier:

(1) Name of note (natural, sharp or flat ) . (2) How to play (finger-position and string) . (3) How long to hold (time-value).

I could go on telling you about each lesson, but I must leave this to your teacher . If you do what. he tells you, you will go through the pages of this book to the joys and pleasures of making your 'cello sing beautiful melodies.

Wishing you all the success your work deserves, I am, Yours for good 'cello playing,

P. S.-Many of my pupils from each school have formed groups which meet at the different homes t.o play the duets, trios, and quartets with piano, thus forming a little orchestra. Why don't you try it, you will haYe lots of fun?

TO THE TEACHER In compiling Book II, I have tried to carr.v out in slightly

more adYanced material the fundamental principles of good 'cello playing as set forth in Book I.

The material and grading has been carefully done, so that each new step is a logical one for the progress of the pupil. Adequate preparation for the deYelopment of the student has been pro\·ided for, although the amount of purely technical material has been kept to a minimum. The contents of this book is very largely made up of folk­songs and other familiar melodies of good musical quality, arranged in duet, trio, and quartet form, through which the pupil will be acquiring the fundamentals of bowing and finger (intonation) technic, as well as a consciousness for good musical design and harmonic structure.

The use of the piano accompaniment (Teacher's Manual) should prove of valne both in the classroom and in the home. That important advantages will result from its use is certain. The interest and ambition of the pupil will naturally be stimulated through the addition of the harmonic strurture which will a lso serve as a guide to the proper placement of the fingers through hearing the tone he is producing in the harmony. The use of the piano part is recommended from the earliest stages so as to stimulate the musical ear to a nice perception of modulations and harmonies, for which the 'cello , as regards these matters, is comparatively imperfect.

Class teaching should be a combinat ion of individual instruction and ensemble playing. At every lesson there should be individual playing so that all the necessary

corrections can be made. Never a llow pupils' mistakes to go unnoticed, since only in constant correction will they deYelop the habit of careful thinking and playing.

A decided adYantage of group-teaching is" that it pro­vides exptrience in ensemble playing and gives every pupil the opportunity of listening to the others, of ohsen ·ing their mistakes, and of hearing the corrections.

For the best results each class ought not to number more than six for a half-hour lesson and t.weh·e for an hour lesson. Irrespective of the numbers, the teacher must see to it that there is individual instruction as well as general directions to the class.

Classes should be regraded whenever necessary so as not to retard the progress of the brighter students, nor to discourage the slower ones. Regrading also acts as an incentive for greater effort on the part of the pupils.

It is recommended that every student practice at least forty-five. minutes a day. This course provides one lesson a week for a school year.

The eventual success of each pupil depends on regular and careful home practice, according to directions. If possible it would be well for the teacher personally to keep in touch with the parents.

LESSON 2

Studies for the Use of the Second Finger One new tone, C natural on the A string

The importance of being able to read notes as well as you can read the letters of the alphabet cannot be overestimated. This is the foundation on which your future progress depends. You must also know the exact position of your fingers on the fingerboard so as to be able to play any ginn note; for example, to play C# on the A string, the third finger is placed a whole tone from the first but to play C natural, the second finger is placed one-half tone from the first.There­fore, th~ necessity of knowing whether the note is natural, sharp or flat is perfectly obvious.

Have a picture of the fingerboard in your mind in order to see where your fingers are placed for the different notes.

Study the following diagram showing position of notes already studied and th e new note to oe taken in this lesson. Name the whole and half tones.

34 LESSON 32

Staccato Bowing Staccato, meaning detached~ separated~ is a style of bowing used in violin playing to denote a

short crisp note. Notes to be played staccato are marked with a dot~ placed over or under them. Draw the bow with a short, quick stroke, and then suddenly stopping it for a short rest, during which the bow is pressed firmly on the string. With this stroke the vibration of the string is stopped~ which gives the short staccato effect.

Chromatics The word "chromatic'' means moving by half steps. Chromatic (literally~ colored) is well chosen,

for by the use of sharps and flats~ tone color or shading is added to the natural sounds of the note. A chromatic interval is one half step above or below the given note. A chromatic scale is a scale that ascends or descends by half steps. In playing chromatics t-he finger must move quickly to the new note so that no slide is heard.
