Cello Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1358007 Composed by Traditional and Beethoven. Arranged by Aaron Sinnett. 19th Century,Children,Classical,Instructional,Traditional. Individual part. 8 pages. Aaron Sinnett #942515. Published by Aaron Sinnett (A0.1358007). Note reading in music can be challenging. The little black dots sitting in the midst of 5 horizontal lines can blur together after a time. This method uses colors to help one quickly identify which string you should be playing on. Even if you are still not very quick to name the notes, learning to group the notes according to string can make that naming game a little simpler. In use are four colors. They represent the four strings on the cello: A, D, G, C. This method can be very informative. Rather than struggle week after week with the same slow results, try this color-coded strategy. There are three familiar tunes in this download. Mary Had a Little Lamb (this one tends to be straight forward enough that every student can play it in a matter of half a lesson), Ode to Joy (by: Beethoven), and Are You Sleeping?. They are organized with increasing amounts of string crossings. This creates the need to remember, more fluidly, which string any given note should be played on. The price is low to encourage you to give it a try. Think of it this way, if you were to get private lessons, it would likely take several lessons to get this information and you only have your memory. Now, you are only a click or so away to having the same information in a PDF that you can refer to again and again.

Cello Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1375969 By Metallica. By James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Lars Ulrich. Arranged by Aaron Sinnett. 20th Century,Rock. Individual part. 4 pages. Aaron Sinnett #960521. Published by Aaron Sinnett (A0.1375969). The key signature is the same as the original.The melody has been simplified to reduce the amount of syncopation. This makes it immediately more accessible to earlier-level players. The melody also features twice. First, it is presented quite low in register, entirely in the first position; Second, it is raised up one octave to where it is found in the fourth position and lower.The cue notes were written with the intent to be played. So, have at them if you so choose. If you are intermediate level all of the notes on the page are manageable.This is a cello only version.If you are still working out some technique, leave out the cue notes (and higher melody—the second verse. The melody could be played twice in either the low or high register depending on your level.) Later, come back for those notes and passages that are more difficult after achieving the requisite skills.In general, I think that Metallica’s songs lend well to the cello’s register. I hope this will be a good experience for all.

Cello Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1081749 Composed by BRODERIP AND WILKINSON. Arranged by Aaron Sinnett. Baroque,Classical,Instructional,Traditional. Individual part. 49 pages. Aaron Sinnett #685876. Published by Aaron Sinnett (A0.1081749). This arrangement is really just a transcription of the original in order to make the text and the music readable. The original publication from c. 1800 is in landscape orientation and is somewhat illegible. This transcription orients the book in Portrait and renders ALL text and music easy to read. There is nothing added or taken away from the original text with the exception that I have a repeated 10 Easy Lessons in which the lessons are spaced farther apart. I have included a Preface and fashioned a Table of Contents, which is not in the original, that both come prior to the book proper. You can find the original at IMSLP if you are interested in making a comparison. https://imslp.org/wiki/Broderip_and_Wilkinson's_Complete_Treatise_for_the_Violoncello_(Various) The audio sample is from The Madrigal a folk tune for cello duet.

Cello Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1208369 Composed by Anton Hegner, Carl Schroeder, Folk Songs, Hermann Heberlein, Hugo Schlemueller, and Sebastian Lee. Arranged by Aaron Sinnett. 19th Century,20th Century,Baroque,Children,Classical. Individual part. 23 pages. Aaron Sinnett #806477. Published by Aaron Sinnett (A0.1208369). Studies for Beginning Cello Students Studies that build one’s skills from open strings to using all four fingers.This volume is a collection of studies from various cellists. Those names being: Hugo Schlemueller, Carl Schroeder, Sebastian Lee, Anton Hegner, and Hermann Heberlein. Also included are several Folk songs as well as the famous Ode To Joy by the great Beethoven.Sometimes a collection such as this are useful in that they focus the students attention on a particular set of skills. In this case, I have carefully chosen and arranged each study so as to build the skills from the open strings up to using all four fingers of the left hand. Students normally find mastering one or two fundamental skills at a time much more doable and more motivating. There are many methods available but few collections that are short, remain in the level of ability for beginners, and proceed in achievable steps. This volume was created after years of teaching and seeing how useful such an incrementally arranged set of studies can be for the student. Whether a student achieves the skill in question for a certain study in a day or a week, the usefulness of the exercise remains the same.
