The Bach Cello Suite No. 1 Study Book helps you learn and perfect every measure of J.S. Bach's Suite in G major for solo cello. The first Bach Suite is broken down into short sections and taught through carefully graded exercises that help you learn the notes and positions in the Suite. The entire first cello suite is presented at the end of the book. Skills that would otherwise be difficult, such as shifts and string crossing, can now be mastered! You can be free to concentrate on artistic expression by solidifying your cello technique before you approach repertoire and this book helps you do just that. The Bach Cello Suite Study Book gives you essential tools to be a better cellist. The Bach Suite No. 1 in G Major uses first, second, third, fourth, and fifth positions, as well as double stops in these positions. Study of these positions is recommended before beginning this book.
