Easy Play-Along Christmas Carols for Cello (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798863567402)

There are two versions of every song presented in this book. The first has the note names embedded in the note head, and has a fingering written in for every note. The second has only the standard notation with no fingerings or note names. Abridged lyrics are included as a guide through the songs.

The goal of the student is to transition to the second version prior to memorizing the song to enhance reading and aural skills. In short, this book has been designed to improve your musical skill level.

The numbers in parentheses below the notes in the first arrangements are the string numbers. They appear below the first note, and below any note that requires a string change.

The priority of the provided finger numbers is to show the location of the note on the instrument. You may play some notes with a different finger to facilitate better technique.

Simple backing tracks are linked below the picture of this book for practice purposes on the Robert Anthony Publishing website.
