About the Cello Fast Track program:
The program was created by author and cellist Kyle Rakestraw, who found that the traditional approach to teaching cello lacked many of the modern learning tools widely available for other instruments, such as guitar and piano.

He developed the program to accelerate learning on the cello using videos ,computer programs, an eBook and fun interactive learning. As he says “For years I have wanted to bring the joy of the cello to others by removing the confusion about what it takes to learn to play this beautiful instrument. He developed the cello fast track program as a way to show others that the cello is an instrument for all that desire to play.

Some of the most common misunderstandings about the cello are that you must learn it from an early age to be able to play, or that you must come from a musical background/family to be able to play. You can actually start learning to play the cello immediately without overspending on expensive recurring lessons or an overpriced instrument.

Thank you for making the Cello Fast Track program. Once I installed the program, I realized that there is nothing else like it for learning the cello.  The cello buying section of the ebook alone can save anyone hundreds of dollars or more. Even better, I was simply amazed at how someone like me with no musical background was able to follow the instructions and create a beautiful tone on the cello on my first day!
