Playing the Cello: Student's Book by cello educators Anna Shuttleworth and Hugo Cole is an instructional resource for cello players aged 10 years and upwards. The book presents a direct and engaging route to developing sound technique through live music making, encouraging musical expression alongside technical development. Rather than treating technique as an isolated exercise, it integrates practical playing with musical understanding, helping learners build confidence while developing essential cello skills through active music making.
Written specifically for cello, this instructional book follows an approach that connects technical study with real musical experience. The authors emphasize learning through making music, allowing technique and expression to develop together instead of as separate disciplines. This practical philosophy supports consistent progress while helping players establish reliable playing habits and a stronger musical foundation. The clear instructional focus makes the book a valuable companion for regular lessons, guided practice, and continued individual study.
Throughout the book, the emphasis remains on developing sound cello technique within a musical context. By encouraging players to apply technical concepts while actively performing music, the method promotes a more natural and rewarding learning experience. This balanced approach helps reinforce coordination, tone production, musical awareness, and expressive playing while maintaining an engaging educational structure that keeps music at the center of the learning process.
The authoritative source identifies this edition as a cello instructional book but does not provide a list of individual pieces, exercises, repertoire, accompaniment material, notation details, or additional learning resources. Accordingly, no repertoire information has been added beyond the available source material.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.
