Time Pieces is an exciting new series of repertoire which explores
the wealth of music written from the sixteenth century to the
present day. The pieces are presented chronologically within each
volume and all include the year in which they were written too so
you can map your journey through time. Time Pieces for Cello is a
three-volume anthology providing a graded selection of well-crafted
and idiomatic arrangements, as well as some original pieces, for
cello and piano. All of them have been carefully written to provide
practice of the keys, note ranges and fingering patterns
encountered in the early grades, and there are suggestions for
position work and varied bowing patterns. Each volume balances
well-known pieces with less familiar music, and the emphasis
throughout is on tuneful repertoire perfectly suited to the cello
with a simple supportive piano accompaniment. From Tallis to
Tchaikovsky and from Haydn to Britten, Time Pieces for Cello allows
the pupil to get a real feel for the different styles of music
through time and will prove an invaluable, varied source of further
study and recital repertoire.

sound are broken into four levels, consistent with the
revolutionary Sound Innovations structure: (1) Sound Tone, (2)
Sound Bowings, (3) Sound Shifting, and (4) Sound Scales, Arpeggios,
Chorales, and Rhythms. The levels can be used in the order that is
best for your students, as individual warm-ups or as structured
units. Your students will learn the proper use of the bow with the
variables of tone, the next group of bowings needed for
intermediate repertoire, and how to shift and play with vibrato.
These skills will be reinforced with comprehensive scales,
arpeggios, sight-reading materials, rhythm exercises, and warm-up
chorales. Video demonstrations of key skills are referenced in the
