FJH MusicNew Directions For Strings, Cello Book 2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
New Directions for Strings Cello Book 2 is a cello method built around a tetrachord approach to left-hand frame and finger patterns in relation to keys. Instrument-specific posture guidance sits alongside notation, composition, aural skills, dictation, improvisation, and theory. Ensemble opportunities recur through the book, so the material is not limited to isolated cello exercises. Two contrasting cello solos add dedicated performance material, while the accompanying teacher resources provide pedagogical guidance, assessment materials, tips, and organizational support.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cello instruction that pairs left-hand-frame development with key-related finger-pattern study.
- String classes needing recurring ensemble opportunities alongside notation, aural skills, and theory.
- Teachers who want assessment and organizational resources connected to the same cello method.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a Book 2 method for another string instrument rather than cello.
- Students looking for a first-book sequence instead of Cello Book 2.
