Fourth Position Preparatory Studies for the Cello

This book is an introduction to shifting into fourth position on the cello! Ideal for teaching basic shifting to younger students, the book presents easy exercises and short position pieces in an uncomplicated format.



This book deliberately moves slowly so that cellists can master the physical challenge of shifting accurately without complex note-reading or remembering! For a book that moves more quickly, cellists should use a comprehensive position method such as Fourth Position for the Cello or Fourth Position Study Method for the Cello.
