Author: Gabriel Koeppen

The second lesson book in the trailblazing new Koeppen Cello Method, putting the emphasis on having fun with your cello!

Taking a playful and effective approach to learning the cello, the Koeppen Cello Method breaks new ground, sprucing up the usual Baroque and Classical repertoire by adding pieces in popular styles: rock, bossa nova, reggae, swing and more! Exciting pieces and exercises in these styles illustrate specific musical concepts and techniques, whilst teacher-pupil duets feature throughout, encouraging strong ensemble skills right from the get-go.

Structured in an easy and understandable way, the Koeppen Cello Method lays the foundation for a solid technical and musical training. There is a core Lesson Book and a supplementary Tune Book at each level. All books are accompanied by audio tracks which will help motivate and inspire.

For players from around the age of 10 right up to adult learners.
