The method books of D.C. Dounis are universally acclaimed for their ability to improve technique and finger independence. Originally written for violin, they are now adapted for the cello by Javier Sinha. The principles of the Dounis method are explained with special focus on left-hand technique and finger independence. Progressive exercises, with instructions and suggestions, provide an opportunity for every cellist to vastly improve their technique.
