The second volume of Janice Tucker Rhoda's ABCs of Cello method focuses on learning second position with melodies, warm-up exercises, study pieces, scales and arpeggios. It also includes graphs to show new left-hand finger placement, a note-reading worksheet and practice chart. As a direct continuation of the ABCs of Cello for the Absolute Beginner, Book 1, it helps students to learn additional slurred bowing techniques and rhythms, as well as new key and time signatures. The book & CD-ROM edition contains MP3 performance tracks with piano accompaniment, piano accompaniment only, and printable PDF files of all piano accompaniments.
