Cello Time Scales; Kathy & David Blackwell (Oxford University Press)

Cello Time Scales by Kathy and David Blackwell is a scale and technique book published by Oxford University Press for young developing cellists. Designed to accompany the Cello Time series or support any early cello method, this book introduces scales, arpeggios, and technical patterns in a clear, approachable format. Students build confidence with finger patterns, shifting readiness, intonation, rhythm, bow control, and fingerboard awareness while connecting technique to musical playing. The book includes creative activities, duets, and practice ideas that help make scale work more engaging for lessons, group classes, and at-home practice. A useful resource for teachers and students, Cello Time Scales helps young cellists develop reliable technique and stronger musicianship.
