A useful piece to introduce dotted rhythms in 6/8 time. There are some slurred string crossings.
Good for producing confident playing of a simple mainly crotchet based melody in D major. Optional 4th fingers can be added.
A beautiful melody from The Sound of Music to develop a singing tone and the ability to play confidently in 3/4. It has a lilting waltz-like accompaniment.
Grade 1 for upper strings but grade 2 for the double bass.
This and other carol arrangements in Cellos for Christmas are very enjoyable near Christmas. Good for reading and general enjoyment. The part includes words and guitar symbols.
Fantastic, well-known tune with simple position changes up to and including 4th position. Also with chromatic passages, accidentals to read and expressive bowing.
Other good arrangements are available in this book, Grades 2-5
