Easy pieces for Cello and Piano

This is a collection of ten very easy pieces for cello and piano consisting of a limited range of note-values. The first two pieces use only open strings. As the pieces progress, first, second and third fingers are added. There is no need to study these pieces in numerical order. Some cello teachers prefer to teach the note F sharp (3rd finger on the D string) before F natural, largely because it is easier to play in tune. I have added MP3 files of the piano parts so that the cello player can play along with them. These recorded piano parts could be copied to a CD which could of course be played on a portable CD player. By the way, don't try to print out the preview of the music - it's just a small low-quality photo file to give you an idea of what the music looks like.
