Complete Technique for Double Bass, Book 1 (CONTREBASSE) Paperback – August 15, 2014

“Complete Technique for Double Bass, Book 1" by Janice Tucker Rhoda is a welcome addition to the growing collection of pedagogical books for the double bass. Many will find this book very useful as a supplement or companion to ABCs of Bass Books 1 and 2 by Rhoda (also published by Carl Fischer). Overall, this is a very fine method which I greatly enjoy and fills in the appropriate preparation and exercises for developing bowing skills with a sequenced approach to playing in all positions from half-position through thumb position at the octave harmonic.Dr. David Ballam,Instructor of double bass and music appreciation, Auburn University
