Sheet music reviews: Solo Time for Cello

Nina-Marie Plapp takes a look at two new books for advanced students, written by Kathy and David Blackwell, published by Oxford University Press.
Solo Time for Cello Book 1 & 2
Solo Time for Cello Book 1 & 2

The Blackwells have also just brought out two new ‘Solo Time’ cello books for more advanced students. Both are delightful and refreshing collections with pieces suitable for Grade 3–6 students.

With a growth in appetite for previously under-represented composers, classical standard repertoire is bound to change and broaden. Solo Time for Cello Book 1 does a great job reflecting that shift and introduces a diverse range of composers to young musicians at an early stage in their musical development. From J.S. Bach to Florence Price, this collection is brimming with unfamiliar repertoire to freshen up the ears and hearts of cello lovers and students.
