Cello Fingerings: Improve Your Left-Hand Game is a concise but thorough treatise and workbook on the many facets of devising fingerings for the cello. This book is primarily designed for intermediate cellists, which usually means ages fourteen to twenty, but which could be any age from six to eighty. The purpose of this book is to provide you with much of the basic information that you need in order to become good at practicing the cello. This is the book for you if

you know how to shift but you do not currently devise your own fingerings;

you can devise fingerings, but you are frequently unhappy with the results;

you devise your own fingerings, but you frequently encounter other fingering ideas that you had not previously considered.
