Achter De Grote Cello (Behind the Great Cello) is a method specifically written for children. It's based on cello technique and includes many Dutch children's songs. Two-part old master pieces are also included. In this comprehensive book, young cellists learn to play the cello in a playful and easy-to-understand way, from the very beginning through the two major chords. Because the song lyrics are in Dutch, they're easy to sing. This also allows the songs to be played by ear. Clear explanations for both teachers and parents are included in the back of the book. The cheerful illustrations and fun musical puzzles make it even more appealing.
