Favourite carols and festive tunes have here been creatively arranged for the beginner quartet (Grade 1-2+) by the ever-resourceful Mary Cohen. From the more solemn to the extremely boisterous, these arrangements explore a wide range of musical styles as well as many interesting string effects (including simple harmonics, col legno, pizzicato and tremolo). Conscious of the limited rehearsal time available in the mad rush up to the annual carol service or Christmas concert, Mary has also provided invaluable technique tips to help deal with problems which might otherwise disrupt the musical flow. There are plenty of opportunities for audience participation too for the more adventurous!

Christmas Carols - Easy arrangements for 2 or 3 cellos The arrangements were conceived for pupils already past at least the very beginning stages of playing, their musical demands make them enjoyable also to older, intermediate-level players. Their playing-range encompasses all four strings of the cello from the top to the bottom of the first position. Care must be taken to keep the melody always in the forefront, changing, as it does, from part to part. Then when each pupil has learned his or her part, back to the beginning, exchange parts - then the fun begins again!
