Don't buy this book unless you are a teacher, or your teacher told you to buy it!This edition has no fingerings. If you are teaching yourself the cello (first, please consider getting a teacher. It is very helpful!), this is not the right book for you. My other scale book called "Probably the Only Cello Scale Book You Will Ever Need" is the better choice. It has fingerings for all the scales.This book contains all 24 major and melodic minor scales AND arpeggios. Each scale and arpeggio is shown in 1, 2, and 3 octave forms. It is very hard to find books that have one, two, and three octaves scales shown separately! Also includes some suggested bowing patterns, which are shown at the bottom of the page. Many books are in circle of fifths order, which is less practical. When students are working on F major, an easy scale, you must hunt for it way in the back. This book is organized more relevent to the order in which the scales will be learned. The order (major scales) is C, G, F, D, Bb, etc. Each page has all of the scales and arpeggios for that key. This can start conversations about future playing: here's where you will be someday! By having the arpeggios on the same page as the scales, you can easily see the structure of chords as they relate to scalesStudents can get confused if they are learning a one octave scale while seeing a two octave scale on the page. It is often hard for them to stop in the middle and pick it back up near the end. This book is meant to be easy to read and follow. The scales are not obscured with bowings or theory notations. The goal is simplicity, clarity, and completeness.
