    I would get this book sooner rather than later....
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2012*

I started out like most beginning cellists learning in the first position, and ultimately feeling a little leery of going up the fingerboard.  That is a shame, as it makes playing much easier and more intuitive if one learns where the notes are on the various strings, by which I mean notes that can be played on more than one string.  I am now working on forming the new habit of not defaulting to first position and not defaulting to open strings.  I wish I had learned that earlier.  Yes, I know, it would have been more difficult then, but it is not a slam dunk now to re-learn new and better habits.All of this to say, I would order this book earlier than you think you might want or need it, and work on the scales through 3 octaves.  Use a tuner to find the notes in the upper positions if you need to.  Pencil in the names of the notes in tenor clef and treble clef if you need to.  Just my opinion, but you will eventually need to know those things, so why wait?  It doesn't really get easier, especially if you have already formed the habit of staying in first and using open strings, and of freaking out when you see tenor or treble clef.I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 because I had to pencil in some fingering changes where this book uses open strings instead of upper positions / more advanced fingering.  I am not terribly advanced myself, but I do play in an orchestra and when you have pieces with 3 or 4 flats etc, you need to be able to get to them quickly; and no one in an orchestra plays with open strings.  I don't find it helpful to be encouraged to default to open strings, or to go back and forth between, say, first and fourth positions, when staying in fourth (let's say) gets the job done.  I do enjoy having all the major scales, minor scales, and melodic minor scales all in one succinct spiral bound book.  I would call this book a must for every cellist.EDIT / UPDATE, 11/21/12:The more I use this book, the more I like it.  On each page, after the 3 octave scale up and down, there are short bits where you work on, say, going from first to fourth position and back, or going from fourth to the harmonic and above and back again.  You repeat those bits several times until you have the shift learned, and then you are able to play the whole scale better, faster, more comfortably and more confidently.  You are then also much more readily able to play music which requires those shifts.  I wish I'd had this book earlier, but I now use it every day and am making up for lost time.EDIT-UPDATE 5/17: Ok, I now know that all scale books have you use first position until you can't.  They never do as I suggested above, have you stay in, say, fourth position and go from string to string.  So that was an ignorant critique on my part.  I still like the book a lot, and it is super-useful for learning tenor clef and treble clef somewhat painlessly.  That right there is a great thing.

    I have no teacher and this is incredibly useful and accessable
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2018*

The scale comes first, and then every little shift comes in tiny exercises after the scale.  It's like Cassia Harvey knows what I'm going to be confused about before I do (I suspect I am not that unique an adult learner).  I have gone from no experience above the harmonic A on the A string to scampering up and down the fingerboard in the major, the minor, melodic and harmonic, and my confidence is solid.  I trust her teaching and I will keep using her books.

    The book arrived and my Granddaughter is very happy with it

The book arrived and my Granddaughter is very happy with it. I'm a little miffed at the price to send it. More than the actual book it's self. I know it doesn't cost that much to mail that thin book. Weighs less than a magazine.
