This innovative CD provides a comprehensive overview of easy cello music. Christine Watts and Michi Tashjian take an upbeat approach to presenting original blues and jazz tunes as well as charming original dances and animal songs such as Elephants, Polar Bears, Ponies, and Snakes. Classical favorites by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky are also introduced. Inspiring and lively piano music written and played by Michi Tashjian demonstrates how cello and piano complement each other. To delight young listeners, live animal sounds are added to songs like Bingo, Old McDonald, Country Fair Day, and Song of the Sea. For the youngest listeners, the beautiful and versatile voice of Jacqueline Familant sings the words, and adds a descant to nursery rhymes such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Hot Cross Buns, I"m a Little Tea Pot, and Hush Little Baby. This imaginative and fanciful introduction to cello music is for the entertainment, inspiration, and education of young people. This CD does not exactly follow the Cello Method book, but is intended as a supplement.
