Cohen, Mary : Technique Takes Off! Cello

Technique Takes Off! Cello presents fourteen original, imaginative studies for solo cello, specially designed to lead on from elementary studies for younger players to more advanced material by Dotzauer and Popper. Each piece concentrates on one or two aspects of technique, and the whole set covers a wide range of left and right hand skills, including spicatto bowing, string-crossing, moto perpetuo, cantible, and easy double stops.

Teachers and pupils will find this invaluable, yet light hearted, collection both enjoyable and stimulating.

**Trinity College London selected piece (Cello 2010-2012): Village Bagpipes (Cohen)
