Progressive Repertoire for the Double Bass, Vol. 3

It is rare in music pedagogy that something truly revolutionary comes along. This is the first English-language method for beginning double bass to incorporate the innovative division of the bass fingerboard into six positions developed by renowned French bassist François Rabbath in his three-volume Nouvelle Technique de la Contrebasse. These revolutionary ideas are introduced in a progressive manner using familiar folk and classical material to produce studies and pieces that will appeal to novice bassists of all ages. In addition, a CD is included with each of the primary books containing all the music performed by François Rabbath, with Elizabeth Azcona-Hartmark on piano. Introduce American teachers and students to the most important techniques developed for the instrument!
