The Triplet Book for Cello, Part Two

Make Groups of Three Notes Less Awkward!

The Triplet Book for Cello, Part Two trains your hand in triplets and helps you master even more notes in groups of three.

While it can be awkward and even difficult to play groups of three notes evenly, there is help! Using finger and bow studies and fiddle tunes, these cello exercises focus on helping you overcome specific difficulties in triplet playing.

From the Breval Sonata in C Major and the Romberg Sonata in E minor to the Bach Solo Cello Suites, cello repertoire has triplets everywhere!

Learning to play triplets well is essential.

What the book covers: chromatic fingerings (1-2-3-4 rather than 1-2-4), developing left- and right-hand agility, and including triplets in double stops, this book is entirely in closed first position.

Who this book is for: First and second- year cello students and adult learners, this book is also useful as a warm-up book for intermediate and advanced cellists.

How to use this book: Play two pages at a time, at the beginning of your practice. This book can be used as as cello warm-up. Play with a metronome if possible.
