Written by Janice Tucker Rhoda, author of the popular ABCs of Strings method, the Complete Technique For Double Bass series is designed for advanced beginners to upper level students wishing to learn or improve their left hand and right arm bow skills.Starting in first position, and proceeding carefully through the higher positions, these method books use short studies to demonstrate specific technical ideas.The book starts with solidifying the combination of note reading, rhythm, and bow distribution, then quickly progresses to a variety of bowing techniques and use of positions 1 - 7, half and thumb position, explaining the physicality of the left and right hands, arms, elbows, and shoulders. Using a mixture of more melodic studies with purely technical exercises, this book quickly gives players information and confidence to improve their playing.Complete Technique For Double Bass - Book 1 covers and includes:Positions 1 through 7Half PositionBass, tenor and treble clefsTwo octave C Major Scale to thumb positionAdvanced chromatic scaleBasic thumb positionWorksheets for note-readingScales, arpeggios, broken thirdsImprovisational melodiesDouble-Stops, chords, octavesHarmonicsArm Swing left-hand and bow-arm techniqueBow balancing exercisesBallet of Shifting exercisesQuick Finger exercisesFinger Substitution exercisesLeft-hand pizzicato exercisesTeaching points throughout / Contrebasse

Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tzigane”. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated 'Tzigane” and both versions remain a 'must” for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D'Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer's earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition - one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of 'Tzigane” from the estate of Jelly D'Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D'Aranyi. D'Aranyi's alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D'Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto. - First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano - Includes Jelly D'Aranyi's fingering/ Répertoire / Contrebasse

Dirt Simple Upright Bass. Although designed for newcomers to the upright bass and bluegrass music in general, this unique approach to creating basslines has something for everyone! The first half focuses on bass-playing essentials, giving the reader a solid technical footing with the instrument. Then, using his own baritone voice and the classic bluegrass song, 'Going Down the Road Feeling Bad,' author Nate Sabat reveals his creative process in crafting effective basslines from the song's melody and chord progression. The second half focuses on bass playing within the specific context of complementing bluegrass vocals. Well beyond what you might expect from an introductory method, Nate tastefully guides the reader by presenting multiple composed bassline options for each of five well-known bluegrass songs: Rabbit in the Log, Don't this Road Look Rough and Rocky\', Long Journey Home, I Am a Pilgrim, and Angel Band.Nate's warm, pitch-perfect vocals can be heard on virtually every track, giving this method an undeniable musicality. A lightly accompanied vocal track with no bass is also provided, so you can be the sole upright or electric bassist in the band. You'll not only want to back Nate up'but sing harmony with him too! The impulse to sing can't help but influence your bass playing in a natural and positive way. Nate provides notated versions of the eight major scales most commonly used in bluegrass. Once you get them under your fingers, you'll soon be able to play along with the book's 50 companion online recordings.With its simple harmonic palette and repetitive nature, bluegrass music offers bassists the perfect opportunity to become musically literate. If you've hesitated to learn to read music, this is the time and place to eliminate that drawback. Working through these 46 pages will provide the tools and confidence needed to create your own engaging and musical basslines and hopefully, you'll be inspired to continue your bluegrass bass journey for years to come.

Par ZANCHI ATTILIO. Teoria, tecniche e stili del contrabbasso moderno. Ho iniziato a scrivere questo metodo diversi anni fa, praticamente quando ho deciso di cominciare a suonare questo strumento così affascinante ma arduo da padroneggiare. Procedendo nello studio cercavo d'apprendere le nozioni teoriche ed assimilare i vari passaggi tecnici che dovevo affrontare scrivendo degli esercizi specifici. Così facendo mi sono ritrovato a riempire decine di pagine di musica che sono divenute successivamente la parte principale di questo libro. I primi metodi che ho studiato sono stati gli ottimi libri classici 'Billè” e 'Simandl” che procedono in modo progressivo esplorando la tastiera nelle varie posizioni - in ogni capitolo si trovano esercizi basati sulle varie scale. Ho trovato molto utile questo sistema ed ho deciso di procedere gradualmente con lo stesso procedimento scrivendo però dei brani in stili più moderni quali Jazz, Blues e Latin. Gli esercizi utili a sviluppare la tecnica del pizzicato e l'agilità delle dita della mano destra sono ispirati agli studi che ho fatto con il grande contrabbassista e didatta Dave Holland e che poi ho elaborato in modo personale. Dopo una prima stesura ho iniziato a far studiare gli esercizi ai miei allievi ed ho avuto modo di revisionarli ed adattarli alle esigenze didattiche specifiche. Nel metodo sono contenuti 66 brani in vari stili costruiti con le diverse scale maggiori, minori naturali, minori melodiche ed armoniche in tutte le tonalità. Il libro contiene inoltre studi tecnici dettagliati relativi alla tecnica del pizzicato ed a quella con l'arco. Nel manuale si possono trovare inoltre diverse spiegazioni teoriche utili a completare la propria preparazione nel campo della musica moderna./ Méthode / Contrebasse
