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!
