Compiling and organizing some of the most effective etudes written for cello, this series of foundation studies gives you a comprehensive step-by-step method for perfecting your cello playing!

The Cello Etude System presents both rare and classic etudes, interspersed with newly written material, providing cello teachers and students with a library of essential resources for teaching and learning cello. Recognizing that students learn at different speeds, The Cello Etude System books allow cellists to learn at either a relaxed pace or an accelerated pace.

With works by Schroeder, Nolck, Werner, Davidov, Romberg, and more, this book has a huge array of rare studies for beginning cello. There is a separate duet accompaniment volume for this book: The Cello Etude System, Part 0; Beginning Studies, Duet Book.

This book, Part 0, presents cello etudes at a beginning level, starting with open strings and gradually progressing to fingered notes. All of the etudes in this book are in closed first position. This book could be followed by The Cello Etude System, Part 1A, which teaches more complex etudes in closed first position.
