Double Stop Shifting for the Cello, Book One Cassia Harvey

This book teaches double stop shifting on the cello, focusing on shifting in sixths and thirds through the first four positions. With short exercises that very gradually increase in difficulty, specific concepts are taught to the intermediate cellist, including shifting from a closed position to an extended (stretched) position in double stops. Useful for improving intonation and developing left-hand strength, Double Stop Shifting for the Cello, Book One also prepares the cellist for double stop playing in cello repertoire.
