Best books to learn Cello, in order

The cello demands the body be trained before the music, so the reading order is really a technique order. Start with a method that sets posture, bow arm, and left-hand frame, drill the graded etudes that isolate shifting and string crossing, then bring repertoire in only as your hand is ready for it. Chase pieces above your level and you cement bad habits into your arm; follow the method and the repertoire arrives on schedule.
