Free Cello Etudes in Closed First Position!

Celebrating the release of Book 1A in the Cello Etude System!

The Cello Etude System has been carefully structured to help students who learn at different paces. Here is how it works:

• Book 0: Beginning Studies
• Book 1A: Closed First Position
• Book 2A: Extended First Position and Half Position
• Book 3A: First Position and Fourth Position

Two Learning Paths in Every Book

There is a relaxed path and an accelerated path through every Cello Etude System book. The relaxed path takes you through all of the etudes and the accelerated path (for learners who move more quickly through music) takes you through a carefully selected segment of the book that teaches all essential skills but without as much repetition.

Book 0
