Teaching Cello - Etudes for teaching shifting
C Major Etudes for the CelloThese etudes, all in the key of C major, go over basic left and right hand skills
|
Double Stop Etudes for the CelloThese etudes only have double stops in first position but they include shifting through fourth position.
|
Dotzauer's Classic EtudesThese are probably the most readily available cello etudes; they're easy to find new or second-hand. While not as musical as Lee or Kummer etudes, these are very focused studies and they can give your students a very solid technique.

Schroeder: Perhaps the most famous cello etude book?This super-well-known cello etude book has numerous etudes in the lower positions. However, the etudes are not presented in order of difficulty and as you make your way through them, you might come across one or two random etudes in thumb position!

|
Stutschewsky's OdditiesAn odd collection of etudes that contains a few not found elsewhere (Stransky, Dont, Thaler, Spohr). Contains a small amount of tenor clef.
|
|
Cohen's New and Fresh Etude ApproachInteresting group of varied etudes; great for keeping the intermediate cellist interested. Contains tenor clef.
|
|
Feuillard's Etude CompilationAnother fantastic compilation of etudes by Feuillard. These are detail-oriented and can help your students play more precisely.
|
|
Grant's Etude CompilationThis is a great graded series of etudes. The studies are grouped according to the positions, with sections on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th positions. Uses tenor clef only at the very end.

Fun Squire Cello Etudes!I love this book of intermediate etudes in the positions (the book also contains 3 first-position etudes). Somewhat melodic and quite interesting, they use positions 1-4 and do not include any tenor clef.
