REVIEW VIDEOS

While enjoying a wide-ranging career as a cello soloist and teacher, Harry Wimmer has never lost sight of the important area of beginning teaching, which remains close to his heart. He was co-author with his wife, the renowned violinist and teacher Shirley Givens, of her highly-successful Adventures in Violinland, which has reached a staggering 24 volumes. Throughout the years, Harry Wimmer's companion method, Adventures in Cello Country, has been honed by succeeding generations of young cellists. Now he has finally been persuaded to send these books out into the world, in the hope that they will fall into the hands of new bright-eyed young cellists.

Wonderful series!

If you use this series, I'd recommend starting with book 1A. Book 1D introduces the third and fourth finger. She also teaches solfège and hand signs. So you can have your student sing the piece first in solfège, which is great for learning how to sing correct pitches. The pieces all have words, too. It's great for children age 5-9. I use this will all of my students who are that age. I love that the notes are big, some pieces have accompaniment sometimes on violin or piano. I also like how short the pieces are, it is easy to master much quicker than Suzuki pieces. All of my students love it!
