Suzuki Cello Book 1, No. 2: French Folk Song - Tips

Focus Points:

• Get into a good playing position every time, making sure the fingers on the bow are curved and the left thumb is on the neck under the 2nd finger.
• This piece starts with four fingers on the A sting.
• There are a lot of 3 note groupings, watch for that as you play the piece.
• Make sure to play with a smooth bow connecting the notes.
• Practice at a speed where you do not feel rushed and after you get comfortable with the piece you can speed it up.
