• Good New Edition 12 November, 2002
The new Essential Elements 2000 comes with an accompaniment CD that makes learning fun for beginning students. I use it as a supplement to the Suzuki method and my students love it.

• Excellent Beginner Book 06 August, 2008
I am an adult beginner and I am using this book. So far it has been wonderful and easy to learn compared to some of the other bigger, complicated books that I bought at the same time. Luckily, I have a great teacher who helps me with technique- where the book lacks. But I guess all music books lack in that because they can't see what you are doing right or wrong.

• Perfect For Beginning Adult Students 28 March, 2007
I started learning to play the cello at the age of 40. I came into it knowing *nothing* about music or musical instrumets. I knew how to listen to music, but couldn't play it, read it, or make it, and I was completely unfamiliar with the various parts of a cello.
While obviously written for children (my favorite line: page 4 "Wait quietly for your teacher to tune your instrument"), this book is perfect for beginning adult students as well. I learned to identify the parts of the instrument, how to hold it while playing, fingering techniques, and how to properly hold and use the bow (more challenging than it looks). The book does a very good job of introducing the "language" of music to those who have no previous experience with time signatures, clef signs, key signatures, eighth notes and half notes, half steps and whole steps, etc. And if you couldn't sight read music before, you certainly will get it while working with this book.
If you already have some musical training, this book may very well be too basic for you. If you are like me, an *absolute* beginner, I recommend this book with enthusiasm. As some wise person once said, it's okay to begin at the beginning. This book is the perfect companion as you start your musical journey!
