Parent & Teacher's materials
You may want to help your Cellobaby child at home, or you may to want use the Cellobaby method professionally - and that's great! Kay wants to encourage this, so...
NB Cellobabies is part of Stringbabies [Cello, Violin & Viola]. Kay's main site for Stringbabies is located here - it has the Stringbabies teachers directory, latest news and information etc.
This [the Cellobabies] site is therefore no-longer being updated [as of Aug 2010], but is being kept on-line for those who may have bookmarked any pages
The Cellobaby Books
To help you, Kay has written two essential Cellobabies books [and the other equivalent Stringbabies books]:
- Pupil's workbook
- Teacher & Parent's book
All price information is given on Kay's Stringbabies website
Initially you will need to buy ONE set of both books, as the Teacher & Parent's book is essential to understand the method! If you are a teacher, or parent of more than one Cellobaby, you can choose to order between 1, 2 or 3 copies of the Pupil's workbook to each Teacher & Parent's book.
Purchasing the books
Kay now sells Stringbabies [Violinbabies, Violababies and Cellobabies] teaching materials. These are all available at Kay's Stringbabies website [it makes it simpler to keep everything in one place!]. So you can now buy materials for all Stringbabies at the same time.
Foreword by Pat Legg
Here is the foreword to the books:
‘Kay Tucker’s Cellobabies is an educationally well thought out and fun way of teaching little ones to play the cello, and this book is an excellent accompaniment that systematically, step by step gives the children the skills they need to read music and to become musicians.
There are songs to sing, rhythms to clap and symbols to recognize, all of which are logically transferred into skills which are necessary for learning to read music.
Kay has had such success with this method of teaching children that I can whole heartedly recommend teachers, parents and pupils alike to use this book and together enjoy the journey of discovery and see how the reading of music opens up so many musical delights.’
Pat Legg is a leading educationalist, composer & much admired cello teacher. Her work is published by Faber.
