Book 1E: Meet Tex Neek, the cello-totin' cowboy. This is a string crossing game with an American Wild West theme. The technical aim is to achieve clean, clear string crossing through exercises presented in a graded order. Young cellists receive these exercises in the form of messages and clues, and then plot their progress on a trail map until they reach Tex Neek's hideaway and receive an award. There are copious illustrations on "cowboy and Indian" themes by Shirley Givens and Grandpa Fred Givens.
