This book is a note-by note introduction to thumb position on the cello. Beginning with shifting to only the thumb, then adding one finger at a time, the exercises allow the teacher to introduce thumb position to the student gradually and easily. The book teaches the transition to thumb position in every exercise, then focuses on "high" second finger, playing across strings, and ends with moving the thumb to different positions. This book can be used in conjunction with Thumb Position School for the Cello (which focuses on playing across strings in thumb position) and Thumb Position Duets for the Cello, Book One, and can be followed by Thumb Position for the Cello, Book Two.

Halleluja! A book that is easy to understand
This book has practice suggestions for learning thumb position. I am an adult amateur and trying to continue my own learning with Ms. Harvey's books. These 30 pages have strings and finger numbers clearly identified and are laid out for sequential learning. Ms. Harvey really knows HOW to teach a new concept. Best books on cello playing and I own a LOT of cello method books and etude books. Clear printing makes practicing a joy from these books. I try to work on a few lines per day and use a tuner often. Highly recommend.
