Bass Book One

This book combines fun songs and easy exercises to help the beginning bass student play as much as possible. Bass Book One is an excellent companion to Knowing the Notes for Bass and The First Summer Study Book for Bass. Teachers can use this book as a method or as a supplemental study book for their beginning students who know a few notes but need more work on note-reading. While the main part of the book is all in first position, there are selections from the book in a supplemental section in the back that are repeated at an intermediate level, with shifting, to accomodate more advanced students in a class. This book can be used together with Viola Book One and Cello Book One in a low-strings class.
