Ensembles for Cello

Prepared and edited by Rick Mooney, a well-known Suzuki teacher, teacher-trainer and member of the Suzuki Cello Committee, these books contain harmony parts to go with many of the pieces in the Suzuki Cello School, Volumes 1, 2 and 3. All of these pieces have been arranged to resemble, as much as possible, the existing piano accompaniments. These ensembles enable a cello teacher (who does not play or have access to a piano) to play harmony parts with students to prepare them for the time when a piano and pianist are available. Also, these parts give additional challenges for the more advanced player during a group lesson. Volume 1 contents are: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Theme and Variations (Shinichi Suzuki); French Folk Song (Folk Song); Song of the Wind (Folk Song); Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Folk Song); O Come, Little Children (Folk Song); May Song (Folk Song); Allegro (Shinichi Suzuki); Perpetual Motion (Shinichi Suzuki); Long, Long Ago (T.H.
