"I love Janice Tucker Rhoda's method books because they are easy to follow. As a cello teacher and member of the American String Teachers Association, I have reviewed many method books, and found Janice's books to be a fun, organized, "no frills" book to offer my students. The students enjoy being able to play familiar songs right from the "get go." Many method books are so cluttered with information the student has a difficult time focusing on the lesson and just ends up very confused. The The ABCs of Cello series of method books are excellent books for every level, they progress nicely through the positions and move the student smoothly through their musical endeavors."

"I LOVE the The ABCs of Cello books! It is so clear and uncluttered (unlike so many current books) with large type, plenty of space between the lines and pieces, organized pedagogical goals, and helpful hints mixed in. I especially enjoy the mix of well-known tunes, important classical melodies, and your original songs. This is the first source I go to when I teach a new student! I know he or she would not be intimidated with this volume and will enjoy the learning process without being overwhelmed."
Greg Hamilton, DMA, Professor of Cello, Concordia College, Moorhead, MN
"Janice Tucker Rhoda has created an outstanding book for the beginner cellist. No need to buy a supplementary book, as The ABCs of Cello for the Absolute Beginner includes a collection of songs and etudes in comprehensive sequence. The practice planner and chart keep everything together for that forgetful cellist and the duets are fun for the student and teacher alike! I highly recommend this book for those ready to dive into the art of cello playing and for those teaching group and private lessons."
