Prepared and edited by Rick Mooney, a well-known Suzuki teacher,
teacher-trainer, and member of the Suzuki Cello Committee, these books
contain harmony parts to go with many of the pieces in the Suzuki Cello
School, Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4. All of these pieces have been arranged
to resemble, as much as possible, the existing piano accompaniments.
These ensembles enable a cello teacher (who does not play or have access
to a piano) to play harmony parts with students to prepare them for the
time when a piano and pianist are available. These parts also provide
additional challenges for the more advanced player during a group
lesson. Volume 1 contents are: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Theme and
Variations (Shinichi Suzuki) * French Folk Song (Folk Song) * Song of
the Wind (Folk Song) * Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Folk Song) * O Come, Little
