Thirds in Thumb Position for the Cello, Preparatory Studies

This book is an introduction to double-stop thirds in thumb position on the cello. Focusing first on intonation and then on shifting, the book covers thumb-to-thumb shifting and fingered thirds. Teachers can use this book to introduce thirds gradually and systematically to their advanced students. Thirds in Thumb Position for the Cello: Preparatory Studies was designed to give cellists a better knowledge of how to play thirds, and better intonation when they play thirds in solo literature. After playing this book, the early-advanced cellist can continue their studies with Thirds in Thumb Position for the Cello, Book One, which is the next book in the series.
