Below are cello accompaniments for Suzuki teachers to use in lessons or performance. For these longer pieces, it makes it so much easier to play than reading off the score. I intersperse the important melodies with essential bass lines.

Also, there are some cello ensemble accompaniments as well.

Vivaldi Concerto for Two Cellos
 (Teacher's Accompaniment) Book 6 
 
This cello teacher's accompaniment is very handy to use if you need to rehearse with 2 students who are learning the first movement of  Vivaldi's Concerto in G minor for 2 Cellos. It's a combination of bass line and first violin melodies so gives a remarkably full version of the accompaniement. See below for a full cello ensemble version.

Goltermann Concerto (Book 5)

In this accompaniment, which is intended for the cello teacher, I incorporated some important melodies from the orchestra and I used the bass line wherever appropriate.

Vivaldi Concerto for 2 Cellos
 in G minor 1st mvt (cello ensemble accomp)

Who needs violins and violas? If you don't have a string quartet to accompany your students who have learned the solo parts, this arrangement consists of 2-3 cello parts (not including the 2 solo parts). Cello 1 is for students who are experienced in thumb position (bk 7 +). This part is similar (but not identical) to the Cello Teacher's Accompaniment Version that I first made (scroll down if you want only that part)
Cello 2 is easier and at times goes into 6th position but no higher.
Cello 3 is the bass line which can be played by a bk 4 student.  This part is doubled throughout by one or more of the other players so is not essential but gives less experienced players a chance to join in.

Bach Arioso (book 5) 

I've arranged a quartet where the Suzuki book 5 solo is cello 1 and the other 3 parts are the pizzicato accompaniment. This works well in an ensemble class.
