Cellists Who Teach Children: Read This Book Mar 14, 2002
With more than 30 years experience teaching children and teaching those who want to become teachers of children, Phyllis Young has collected an impressive compendium of teaching stragegies that are practical and at the same time grounded in sound pedagogic theory. Broken into hundreds of "games" that help children (and adults for that matter) visualize what a teacher is asking for, all of the collection represents diamonds of knowledge that teachers often struggle with. For the person new to teaching or the veteran who is looking for a fresh approach, this book is a treasure trove.

Buy it. You'll be glad you did.

It can be very helpful Aug 26, 2011 By C. Fox
I wish the book had more individual stories to describe on how to help young beginners (or adult) start the cello. Most of the stories are for classes, more than a couple of students. But I still get a good idea on how to teach a single student how to, for example, hold his/her cello correctly. There is a lot of reading to be done and that is good because I'm a new cello teacher and I need to learn as much as I can. This book is teaching me a lot of good ideas on how to teach a beginning student on how to hold, hear and play the cello.
