The Books & DVDs has a total of 19 tracks for a total length of 1 hour and 17 minutes. Each track is a progression in time with the same student (a young girl playing on a 1/8 size cello)."I believe that anyone who can speak has the capacity to make music. The ability to speak proves that you can listen and that your brain can process information to communicate. These are the same skills that are used to play an instrument. The secret of teaching is to find the keys that open the doors for each individual student. My goal is to provide some of these keys for the beginning cellist. If the principles are successfully learned from the beginning, the student will be able to enjoy the ease of making wonderful music." - Irene Sharp, a teacher at the Mannes College of Music University of California at Berkeley, and San Francisco State University, has been acclaimed internationally for her teaching.
