Position Pieces for Cello Book 2 fills the pedagogical gap between the first book of Position Pieces and the two Thumb Position for Cello books in that it covers the fifth, sixth, and seventh positions.

Position Pieces for Cello Book 2 systematically introduces ways to find the correct location of each position and also to understand the various finger patterns required. As with Mr. Mooney's other books, this is accomplished in an enjoyable and creative manner through the use of cello duets.

With titles like "Surfing Cellos", "Jumping Flea" and "The Happy Certified Public Accountant" these pieces are really fun for students to play! This book will prove to be an indispensable tool for intermediate level cello students. 104 pages.

Rick Mooney writes:
"The pieces in this book have been specially designed to help you find certain important notes (I call them 'targets') on the cello fingerboard. The notes that I think of as targets have the same names as the open strings. That way, I can always be sure I have hit the 'bull's eye' by testing the fingered notes with an open string.

These pieces will also help you to learn how certain other notes are easy to play once you have hit the target."
