Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many resources for practicing scales and arpeggios on the cello, but there are extremely few for practicing chords. Understanding chords on the cello can be a very useful skill for cellists for a variety of reasons, the most obvious of which is that chords appear a number of times in the cello repertoire. In addition, understanding chords helps you to think harmonically, helps you to better analyze music, improves your ability to sight-read and to play arpeggios and double-stops, helps the fingers of your left hand to work better together as a team, and facilitates composition and improvisation.
