Open Strings

Spaß mit leeren Saiten

40 Celloduette für den Unterricht

These pieces for open strings are intended to complement the first book of the Koeppen Cello Method, but may also be used alongside any other tutorial method. The pieces are also suitable for young musicians’ very first performances. Various well-known songs and popular rhythms will readily be memorised to reinforce progress. Pupils play open strings throughout, beginning with very simple rhythms and moving on to more demanding patterns later. At the same time the melodies are heard, sometimes in a richly textured accompaniment (teacher’s part) - really making music, right from the start!
