Product description
Cello Time is a great series for young cellists. Packed with lively original tunes, easy duets, and traditional pieces, the books are carefully paced and organized to build confidence every step of the way.
Cello Time Sprinters is the third book in this hugely successful series, building on the firm technical and stylistic foundations of Joggers and Runners by featuring extended pieces in first position, and fourth position pieces. The book includes original pieces in different styles, pieces by a range of composers, and duets with parts of equal difficulty, together with performances and backings available to download from a Companion Website.
