It is very thorough and the many exercises are engaging. I especially appreciate the use, and definitions, of so many different musical terms (i.e. cantabile, dolce, maestoso, etc.) in the wonderful studies. It adds an extra element not usually found in technique books." ~Nancy Kidd (Rhode Island Philharmonic, Brown University) "Complete Technique for Double Bass 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, AL, USA) "Complete Technique for Double Bass looks great and has so much that is valuable to both the teacher and the progressing bassist. We need teaching repertoire which has both a musical and didactic approach for the 21st-century and the Complete Technique and ABCs of Bass books will really offer much for the enterprising teacher who is looking for a new and modern approach. Anything which supports double bass teachers and students has my vote." ~ David Heyes (Double Bass Teacher, United Kingdom) "Complete Technique for Double Bass is an excellent introduction to the Contrabass for aspiring players of the instrument as well as informative." ~ Stafford James (American Jazz Double bassist and Composer) DESCRIPTION: From the author of the popular ABCs of Strings method, Janice Tucker Rhoda's Complete Technique for Double Bass suits the advanced beginner to upper level student wishing to learn or improve left-hand and right bow-arm skills.
