ColourStrings Cello ABC: Book E continues the Cello ABC series. Book E teaches the new material, the 5 di erent pentachords, using numerous folk songs and chamber music works. Teachers should choose the music that best suits their pedagogical aims and needs.
The new element, the minor 2nd interval was introduced by adding the FA and TI notes. Later on these are
expanded into the four types of tetrachrods (Major, Minor, Phrygian, Lydian). Melodies based on these tone sets (including
folk song arrangements) help develop the students' taste and sense of musical character (which is the foundation for
understanding the music of the 20th century). The precise and interesting ngerings aid their sense of pitch.
The four types of tetrachords are:
DO-RE-MI-FA = SO-LA-TI-DO (major)
RE-MI-FA-SO = LA-TI-DO-RE (minor)
MI-FA-SO-LA = TI-DO-RE-MI (Phrygian)
FA-SO-LA-TI (Lydian) with three major 2nd intervals.
