A Cello Teacher's Companion Guide

This volume comes as a very welcome addition to the Cello Teacher's library of resources. Cello teachers and advanced students especially, but also mature beginner students, will find plenty to experiment with from these pages. Inspired to some degree by William Pleeth's classic, 'Cello', Charles Sugden has handed on to his colleagues a very passionate and personal account. It is full of the distilled wisdom of a lifetime's music-making, teaching and being taught. This Companion Guide is especially for the teacher who knows they are still being taught. With lessons from the historical greats, to personal triumphs and failures, this is a compendium of discovery, meshed into many personal stories that bring alive the relationship of teacher, pupil and music. It is therefore an enjoyable read, not seeking merely to inform, but further to inspire.
